After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou both liked it very much, so they naturally gave Wen Zhimiao a reward.

Then came Yun Jiuzhao’s gift, an embroidery with two little figures hidden in the beautiful mountains and rivers.

It is a double-sided embroidery, and the two sides are different. On the other side, it shows two people appreciating flowers and playing chess.

It’s also a very thoughtful gift.

Apart from these, there were gifts presented by Shi Guanchao and several important ministers. There is no need to display the gifts from other ministers one by one.

After that came the gifts and dances from Hu Yanguo and some other small countries.

When they finished their offerings, fireworks burst into the sky and the singing and dancing continued.

Wen Zhimiao sat back in her seat, with Yun Jiuzhao next to her.

Shi Wanyue’s official position was too low, and Empress Dowager Wen Zhimiao couldn’t see her, let alone find her.

In addition to celebrating in the palace, they also had to say hello to the people, just like the parade through the streets on the day Wen Zhimiao was enthroned.

The time had arrived and it was time for the lion dance segment. The lion dance team led the way, and Wen Zhimiao stood up to welcome Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou.

The two of them boarded the sedan chair again, and a few ministers would accompany them. After all, it was impossible for so many people to follow.

When Wen Zhimiao passed by Shi Wanyue's position, he reached out and pulled her over.

Shi Wanyue was taken away by her unexpectedly, and for a moment she was choked by the words that she said were outrageous.

Yun Jiuzhao just smiled as he looked at her: "She is uneasy when you are not around."

Shi Wanyue inevitably blushed and followed Wen Zhimiao closely: "Your Highness, this is against etiquette and too presumptuous."

"As long as mother doesn't scold me for being unruly, who would scold me?" Wen Zhimiao looked at Shi Wanyue innocently.

The situation between her and Shi Wanyue was not like those brainless novels she had read before, where the person favored by the superior would be bullied by the vicious supporting characters.

First, she wouldn't let her, secondly, Master Guanchao wouldn't let her, and thirdly, with Master Wanyue's ability, no one could bully her.

Wen Zhimiao took Shi Wanyue away. Although some people were envious, they were just envious.

No matter how low Shi Wanyue's official position is, she is not the same as them. She is the daughter of Prime Minister Shi and the sweetheart of the prince. She is different from them. It's okay to be envious of her.

Wen Zhimiao knew that she was being presumptuous, but she herself had already enjoyed many privileges. It would be hypocritical for her as a crown prince to talk about equality with others.

Besides, it was nothing to just drag Shi Wanyue to watch the wedding that she had carefully prepared for Yun Zhou, and it didn't harm anyone else.

The lion dance team gradually entered Suzaku Street, followed by the emperor and empress's sedan chairs. The crowd gradually grew larger, and there were soldiers on both sides to maintain order. Although there were many people, it was not chaotic.

Wen Zhimiao whispered to Shi Wanyue, "My sister is in charge of the defense. She is very powerful."

Yun Jiuzhao shook his head gently: "It's not that exaggerated."

Shi Wanyue also followed Wen Zhimiao and said, "Sister, you don't have to be so modest. Sister is really amazing."

The two of them sang in unison, which made Yun Jiuzhao feel embarrassed.

The lion dance team gradually disbanded and was replaced by some folk performance teams.

The first one is the collaboration between Taoyuanju and the opera troupe, because it appears more stable.

The sedan chair that Wen Zhimiao prepared for Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou was also a large horse-drawn carriage that did not require anyone to carry it. They could sit on it and eat while watching the performance without starving to death.

The entire process of interacting with the people was to walk along the main street and finally return to the palace.

There were various performances, but they didn't last very long and ended after midday.

But the people were able to see the emperor and empress they admired, and also watch the performance together. The path was paved with flowers, and the shops and buildings on both sides were also decorated.

Wen Zhimiao admitted that it cost a lot, but because there were no other large-scale expenditures during Su Qingluo's reign, no large-scale construction and no wanton enjoyment, the biggest expense was the construction of the canal, but the income generated by the canal is already considerable.

She did not build the Great Wall because Beirong did not have the ability to attack Tianqi in a short time, and Su Qingluo's plan was to take down Beirong sooner or later after the country was stabilized.

If the successor was someone else, Su Qingluo might worry about not being able to do the job, but because it was Wen Zhimiao, she was not worried at all.

The only other major expense might be the renovation of the imperial palace and the imperial palace.

Because the emperors of Tianxuan had built many palaces, Su Qingluo felt that there was no need to build new palaces. After all, the emperors of Tianxuan were quite good at choosing locations.

He doesn't know how to govern a country, but he knows how to enjoy life.

So in general, although the cost of this wedding was high, it was still very economical compared to many previous emperors.

What's more, it is not enough to hurt the national treasury at all. After all, Shen Luoling has provided a lot of subsidies.

Before she made her preparations, she wrote to Shen Luoling to ask for support. Shen Luoling's reply was full of speechlessness, but she still gave her some support. Of course, Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou also contributed some money from their private storage.

So not much was taken out of the national treasury.

Moreover, part of Wen Zhimiao's money was given to these performers, not for them to perform for free.

After the performance on the main street, they went straight back to the palace. Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou changed into lighter clothes. Wen Zhimiao also wanted to change, but she couldn't because this was already the lightest of her formal attire.

Yun Jiuzhao couldn't go either, so he could only continue the banquet in front.

Anyway, Shi Wanyue had been pulled away before, and later Wen Zhimiao stopped pretending and stuck to Shi Wanyue even more blatantly.

The palace banquet lasted until the evening, with singing, dancing, opera and magic performing in turn until night fell, when the shadow play prepared by Wen Zhimiao also began.

This shadow play combines Yunzhou’s past and present.

In the play, Yunzhou is the reincarnated goddess. She brought all kinds of knowledge to the mortal world and gave the emperor a lot of inspiration.

She then assisted the emperor to ascend the throne, and fell in love with him.

It basically shows the process of Yun Zhou and Su Qingluo falling in love, and also lets many people know that Yun Zhou can become the censor and queen not only because of Su Qingluo's love.

Although this is something that many people know, there are also many people who simply do not admit it.

Wen Zhimiao wants to clear Yun Zhou's name.

Neither Su Qingluo nor Yun Zhou had expected that she would have such a trick up her sleeve, in the form of Yun Zhou's favorite shadow puppetry.

[Shouldn’t mother praise me? You still have to rely on me, right? You are the emperor, and whatever you do will make people believe that it is you who loves you, so Zhou Zhou can be the most powerful official, but she is not. My sister is just that powerful! ]

Su Qingluo looked at Wen Zhimiao with some admiration in her eyes.

Yun Zhou couldn't help but ask Su Qingluo: "What is she thinking about?"

"She said my sisters are the best."

"Stop lying to me." Why was Yun Zhou so unconvinced?

"Really? If you don't believe me, go ask her yourself." Su Qingluo was helpless. Was she that unreliable?

Yun Zhou sneered after she finished speaking.

She looked at Wen Zhimiao, and Wen Zhimiao was looking at her.

When their eyes met, Wen Zhimiao gave her a thumbs up.
