Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

As the dawn broke and the sky turned pale, Qin Ruzhao and Zhang Xianhuai's wedding procession was ready and headed towards Chang'an in a mighty manner.

The carriages, decorated with gold and jade, sparkled brightly under the rising sun.

The horses pulling the carts were all tall and strong, with shiny coats.

The horses' manes fluttered in the wind, and their hooves stepped on the ground forcefully, making crisp sounds. The convoy was connected end to end, winding for several miles. The spectacular sight was astonishing.

As the journey to pick up the bride is quite long, it is expected to take three one-way trips back and forth, and many factors have to be taken into consideration, especially to show the importance of this wedding.

The wedding venue was finally decided to be set up directly in front of the Taiji Hall.

Taiji Hall is one of the most solemn and dignified halls in the imperial palace. It is usually only used when His Majesty or the princes hold their weddings.

Now, Qin Ruzhao and Zhang Xianhuai, as the first ministers since the founding of the Tang Dynasty to be able to hold a wedding in the palace, have undoubtedly made history.

This caused a huge uproar inside and outside the Tang Dynasty palace, attracting everyone's attention and making other ministers envious.

In front of the Taiji Hall, Li Chengqian was wearing a crown and robes, standing there tall and straight, but his slightly awkward posture made him seem uncomfortable.

This time, he followed the etiquette and wore the crown and robes that symbolized imperial power, just like Su Zhi.

Today, the Taishi chair was not used as usual. Instead, the dragon chair in the Taiji Hall was solemnly and carefully carried out and placed on the high platform in front of the hall.

The crown on Li Chengqian's head is beautifully shaped.

The crown stands tall, with tassels hanging in front and back.

The tassel was made by skilled craftsmen who carefully strung together warm-colored jade beads with colorful silk threads.

Moreover, the number of tassels is strictly differentiated in different occasions to highlight the solemnity of the ceremony.

Because today he was officiating at a wedding for his subjects, and it was not the most solemn ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, so there were only nine tassels on Li Chengqian's crown.

He had two sets of crown and robes, one was a black robe and the other was a purple robe. The light red color of the purple robe was supposed to complement this happy day.

Li Chengqian was initially very happy to wear the purple dress. In his opinion, the light red color could convey a more festive atmosphere and was more suitable for the moment of his minister's wedding.

However, a group of ministers from the Ministry of Rites, based on the ancient etiquette and classics, made suggestions to Li Chengqian, claiming that the purple skirt was not appropriate for such occasions and that if worn, it might not be good for the newlyweds.

Although Li Chengqian does not follow the rules.

But when he heard that it was not good for newlyweds, he had no choice but to obey and put on the black crown and robes.

The black robe is embroidered with twelve patterns, with the sun, moon and stars shining against each other, the mountains standing tall and majestic, and the dragon's posture being agile and winding, demonstrating the emperor's extraordinary dignity.

The patterns of Huachong, Zongyi, Zao, Huo, Fenmi, Fu, and Fu are also lifelike, each containing profound meaning.

Every stitch and every thread is poured with the hard work and wisdom of the craftsmen.

Carefully selected by nine clans!

This was the first time in Li Chengqian's life that he wore a formal dragon robe. It felt novel but also uncomfortable. The tight collar, the dragging hem and the heavy accessories made him feel as if he was tied up with ropes all over.

Su Zhi was also wearing a crown and stood quietly beside Li Chengqian.

She was graceful, raised her eyes slightly, and looked calmly at Li Daozon and others chatting and laughing below.

Li Chengqian nudged Su Zhi beside him with his elbow and said softly with a bit of childish complaint, "Lingxi'er, is this crown a little uncomfortable to wear?"

Su Zhi tilted her head, her beautiful eyes darting around as she glanced at Li Chengqian's slightly awkward expression. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then she said softly, "Your Majesty, the crown is designed to demonstrate the dignity of etiquette. Naturally, it won't be as comfortable as your usual attire."

"Your Majesty usually wears loose and casual clothes, but now your whole body is tightly confined by this crown, so it is natural that you feel uncomfortable."

Having said that, Su Zhi paused slightly, and a different light flashed in her eyes.

"But I think that Your Majesty today looks..."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian became curious and quickly asked, "What does it look like?"

Su Zhi covered her mouth, leaned close to Li Chengqian's ear, exhaled sweetly, and said softly, "Jun!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian burst out laughing and said with a hint of pride, "The Queen has good taste!"

But in the blink of an eye, he remembered the bride's receptionist who had not yet arrived. His brows furrowed slightly, and he said anxiously, "Why haven't those two bastards come yet? Didn't they say they were already in Chang'an?"

"I'm almost dying of pain."

"From now on, I will make things difficult for them when I go to court!"

Although the words were somewhat threatening, anyone could tell that there was not much real anger in them. Instead, they sounded more like the mumbling of a child in anger.

When Su Zhi heard Li Chengqian's words, with a hint of teasing and laughter in her eyes, she said, "Your Majesty, are you willing to give it up?"

"These two are both your right-hand men."

"It is such a great honor for a minister to get married in the palace."

"In my opinion, Your Majesty has already raised them as his own children!"

When Li Chengqian heard Su Zhi's words, his heart moved slightly, and the expression on his face became softer. He reached out his hand with a bit of pampering and gently touched the hair on the back of Su Zhi's head.

"Lingxi'er, after their wedding is over, I will have my father take You'er to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to formally confer the title of Crown Prince."

"I will never let you and the child down in this life."

Su Zhi had been joking with Li Chengqian, but she hadn't expected him to suddenly make such a solemn promise. Touched, she slowly raised her head and gazed lovingly at Li Chengqian's jaw. Her gaze was filled with deep affection as she whispered, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
