After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

Because of the Fan Yang incident, the emperor decided to lead officials of the fourth rank and above and their families to personally go to the royal ancestral temple to pray for blessings.

This is an extremely rare thing in Dayong.

On the day of praying, all the people in Kyoto came out and crowded the streets to pay homage to the royal procession.

Emperor Dayong and the Empress were in the front.

Following behind him were Prince Li Ying Yuan, Prince Qi Ying Chu, Prince Jing Ying Si, as well as the fifth and sixth princes, and further back were court officials and their families.

According to her rank, Yan Qing should be among the third-rank officials, but because she is the granddaughter of General Ye, the emperor made an exception and allowed her to stand in the front row with several young masters of the general's mansion.

Only the female members of the Ye family and a few young masters accompanied the emperor to pray for blessings this time. General Ye and the eldest and second masters were ordered by the emperor to lead the imperial guards to ensure the safety of the blessing ceremony.

The group headed towards the royal ancestral hall in a grand procession.

Hundreds and thousands of people followed behind him.

"Sister, why are you here?"

Just as Yan Qing was chatting with the two brothers Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingquan, Yan Tan's figure suddenly appeared beside him.

Facing everyone's strange looks, Yan Tan put on a smile and pointed at Yan Qing: "I'm here to look for my sister. Sorry to bother you all."

At this moment, Yan Qing suddenly discovered strangely that Yan Tan's smiling face overlapped with Madam Zhen's face.

She looked at Yan Tan: "What's wrong?"

Yan Tan looked at Yan Qing aggrievedly: "Can't you come to see your sister if you have nothing to do?"

Yan Qing laughed: "Have you forgotten how you got out of Wu'an Marquis Mansion?"

Yan Tan's face suddenly froze.

The young men and ladies nearby burst into laughter.

Everyone knew that Yan Tan had ruined Yan Qing's marriage and then loudly stated that she wanted to be Lu Qiaonan's concubine. In the end, she was driven back to the Yan Mansion in disgrace by Lu Qiaonan, which was naturally also a household name.

The nosy young man even whistled at Lu Qiaonan who was at the end of the team. Upon hearing the news, Lu Qiaonan looked over here and his eyes instantly fell on Yan Qing's face.

Thinking of what the King of Qi had said to him a few days ago, Lu Qiaonan suddenly clenched his hands into fists under his sleeves.

At the beginning of the Chen period, the royal guard stopped in front of the Taimiao gate.

The emperor and empress led everyone into the temple.

The blessing ceremony is complicated and lengthy.

Everyone stood reverently and neatly in the square of the ancestral temple with solemn expressions.

The area is surrounded by stern and cold imperial guards, and anyone found making noise or whispering will be severely punished.

At this moment, don’t talk about Yan Qing.

Even people like Madam Yan Tanzhen did not dare to move. They all stood in their seats properly and did not dare to disrupt the order.

The first offering official led the emperor to welcome the gods.

The solemn and magnificent music resounded throughout the Taimiao. Everyone followed the emperor in kneeling and paying homage to the saints and ancestors, while the common people watched from outside the imperial guards. The devout also knelt and paid homage with the prayer team.

Zhao Hu and the staff of Fugui Casino were among them.

After welcoming the gods, the next step is to offer wine and bid farewell to the gods. The entire blessing ceremony is very tedious and complicated, with kneeling and kowtowing no less than a hundred times, and it lasts for two hours.

By the time the final ceremony was over, the sun was already at its zenith.

All those who participate in the sacrifice will receive blessed food.

The staff of the Taichang Temple distributed sacrificial meat to each official. Yan Qing stood at the back, ready to receive his share of the sacrificial meat.

As a result, a figure suddenly came to her side.

She thought it was Gu Huaizhou, who had been looking at her while kneeling down to pay his respects. He was completely shameless.

Her lips curled slightly.

"How can you……"

But when he turned around and saw Lu Qiaonan's face, Yan Qing's smile instantly fell, and his voice became indifferent: "What are you doing here?"

Lu Qiaonan said hurtly, "Qingqing, do you really hate me this much?"

Yan Qing said coldly: "You know it, why are you asking?"

Lu Qiaonan looked at her affectionately.

After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Qingqing, whether you believe it or not, the one I love most in my heart is still you. If you are willing..."

"I don't want to."

A cold voice suddenly interrupted Lu Qiaonan's sentimental speech.

Gu Huaizhou came up from behind, raised his sleeve to push Lu Qiaonan aside, and inserted himself between him and Yan Qing. His handsome face was as cold as ice: "Master Lu, please respect yourself."

Lu Qiaonan was very upset when he was pushed away.

Especially since the other party is a powerless and impoverished person.

He stared at Gu Huaizhou's face and deliberately made things difficult for him: "Who are you? Who asked you to come to the blessing ceremony? What does Qingqing and I have to do with you?"

Gu Huaizhou raised his cold eyes indifferently.

Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Yan Qing's hand, then raised it and waved it in front of Lu Qiaonan, saying a few words coldly: "Now, do you understand?"

Lu Qiaonan's eyes suddenly widened.

Yan Qing: “???”

What was Gu Huaizhou doing? In broad daylight and with so many people around, was he looking for death?

Yan Qing pulled his hand back with all his strength.

However, the man was surprisingly strong, and as if afraid that others would not know, he shook it outside again.

Yan Qing suddenly looked towards the emperor in front of him.

Sure enough, I saw that the emperor and the queen were looking this way.

Yan Qing: “…”

dying.

Lu Qiaonan was shocked.

He thought he was sorry for Qingqing, but he didn't expect that she had been secretly having an affair with another man for a long time?

No wonder she was so determined to divorce.

It turns out there was already someone there!

Lu Qiaonan's face went from shock to a distorted expression, and he finally said gloomily, "So you've already... I still feel guilty towards you. Yan Qing, you're the one who let me down. You're such a weakling..."

"Get started!"

Eunuch Yu's shrill voice rang out, and all the officials immediately made way.

The emperor and the empress prepared to return to the palace.

When passing by Yan Qing and Gu Huaizhou, Yan Qing clearly felt the gaze of the Supreme Lord sweeping across her face.

She subconsciously lowered her head even lower.

"Farewell to Your Majesty."

Amid the officials' cheers, the emperor and empress got into the sedan chair.

However, when Eunuch Yu was about to sing "Lift the sedan chair", an ordinary citizen suddenly rushed up.

"Your Majesty, this is unjust!"

"Your Majesty, please make decisions for the people!"

"Your Majesty is wise and wise, please redress the grievances of the people!"

Yan Qing raised his head slightly and saw Zhao Hu leading his men in the front.

She pursed her lips slightly, hoping this would work.

Although the current emperor is restricted by his in-laws, he is still a wise ruler. Otherwise, he would not have placed the eldest princess under house arrest in the princess's mansion after hearing about Gongsun Zhi's affairs.

It's just that the power he has is too small.

That's all we can do.

Gongsun Zhi committed murder, which is a capital crime. If the King of Qi persists in her allegations, only Your Majesty can pardon her crime.

If you want Your Majesty to make decisions for a commoner, the simplest and most effective way is public opinion.

I hope Zhao Hu didn't disappoint her.

While thinking, Yan Qing suddenly felt the back of his hand tighten.

She turned around and realized that Gu Huaizhou had not let go of her hand. When she looked back, he gave her a reassuring look and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "It's okay."

I don't know why, although I wasn't very nervous, I still felt relaxed because of this sentence.

Yan Qing also responded with a gentle smile.

This scene happened to be seen by Lu Qiaonan who was standing behind the two of them.

He gritted his teeth.

He never thought that Yan Qing would betray him!

How could she betray him when she clearly loved him so much? And for a poor fellow like him who had nothing!

Lu Qiaonan's chest heaved violently as he stared at Gu Huaizhou and Yan Qing with eyes filled with hatred that seemed to be tangible and could spit out fire!

Over there, seeing the common people rushing towards the imperial carriage, Queen Wang immediately shouted, "Imperial Guards! Where are the Imperial Guards? Quickly stop them all and protect Your Majesty!"

The imperial guards rushed forward.

Zhao Hu and others were stopped ten steps away from the imperial carriage.

"His Majesty!"

Zhao Hu did not move forward. Instead, he held a roll of silk cloth high in his hand, knelt down, and said with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty is so kind. Please spare Gongsun Zhi's life!"
