The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

The dragon chariot set out from the palace gate and moved forward along Shenwu Avenue. The people stood excitedly on both sides of the avenue, watching the emperor and empress's dragon chariot slowly move forward.

After the dragon chariot disappeared in the distance and the soldiers slowly withdrew, the people dared to talk happily. They praised the emperor and the empress as a perfect match, gossiped about which official among the civil and military officials looked like the empress, and discussed which official was the ugliest.

The dragon chariot was not moving very fast. All the officials followed behind it and measured the length of Shenwu Avenue with their footsteps, not knowing that they and the emperor and empress had become the topic of conversation among the people.

The morning light breaks through the sky, and the morning sun rises under the brilliant rays of light.

The dragon chariot and the civil and military officials arrived at the altar. Xiao Tong took Jiang Wumei's hand and stepped out of the carriage.

All officials and common people knelt on the ground to welcome them, shouting "Long live the emperor and the empress" three times. The rising and falling sound made the birds in the mountains and forests around the altar fly into the sky.

The king reigned supreme, with thousands of people paying him homage. Jiang Wumei and Xiao Tong stood side by side, looking up under the gaze of everyone.

The altar above is simple and solemn, with flags of the Great Sage planted on all four sides, which flutter loudly in the strong wind, exuding a heaviness and simplicity that no one dares to underestimate.

Xiao Tong ordered everyone to stand up. The official from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward quickly, bowed and reported:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this place is one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps away from the altar.

The abbot of Huguo Temple has led the monks waiting at the altar, waiting only for the arrival of the Emperor and Empress, and then the sacrificial ceremony can begin."

Here, in addition to the civil and military officials, there were also thousands of people who came to watch the excitement, and the entire altar was packed with people.

The stone steps leading to the top of the altar were covered with a thick red carpet. Jiang Wumei turned her neck, which was sore from the pressure of the phoenix crown, and looked up at the endless stone steps. She was about to nod when she was suddenly picked up sideways.

"emperor!"

"emperor……"

The official from the Ministry of Rites and Jiang Wumei cried out in panic. Jiang Wumei instinctively hugged the man's broad shoulders, and then she heard the official from the Ministry of Rites shouting in panic:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is against the rules. You and the Empress must walk together up the Longevity Stairs below the altar. You can't just carry the Empress up there..."

The corners of Jiang Wumei's trailing phoenix robe and Xiao Tong's dragon robe danced together like a pair of entangled and fluttering butterflies.

Jiang Wumei heard the man's cold voice, without question:

"The Queen and I are one. I will hold the Queen in my arms as I walk up to the altar, and the Queen will also be able to live forever.

Anyone who dares to talk nonsense and stop us will be dragged out of the sacrificial procession."

Being dragged out of the sacrificial team means that one cannot accompany the Emperor and Empress in praying for the Great Sage.

If a natural disaster occurs in the Great Saint's land within ten years, this official will be singled out by the people and scolded and attacked, saying that he has affected the sacrificial ceremony and brought punishment from the gods.

Who can bear such a big pot?

Who dares to carry it?

Anyway, the official from the Ministry of Rites in front of him didn't dare to carry him on his back, so he could only watch as the young emperor, holding his beloved queen, stepped onto the first step of the stone staircase of immortality.

Seeing Xiao Tong's actions, the civil and military officials as well as the people were instantly in an uproar. There was a lot of noise everywhere, and most of them were shocked and confused.

Several people came running over hurriedly, holding their official hats.

"Oh, Lord Wang, what is the emperor doing?

How could he hug the Queen?

Didn't you tell the Emperor that the Emperor and Empress need to go up the Longevity Steps together?

Today, the Emperor and Empress are praying for the country. If the Emperor does this and invites divine punishment, it will be disastrous!"

"Yeah, yeah, this is outrageous.

Lord Wang, please go and persuade the Emperor."

Lord Wang of the Ministry of Rites had just been reprimanded, and before he had time to wipe the sweat off his face, he simply rolled his eyes at the several anxious and angry colleagues who surrounded him and started to act badly:

"My Lords, it's not that I don't advise you, it's simply that the Emperor cares for the Empress's health and can't bear to see her suffer even the slightest bit.

The emperor just said that he and the empress are one and the same, and heaven can bear witness to this. Anyone who dares to stop the emperor will be dragged out of the prayer team by the Qilin Guards.

I am a lowly person and my words are not influential. I cannot persuade the Emperor. If you think it is inappropriate, please come with me to persuade the Emperor."

As soon as Lord Wang said this, the people who were talking at once immediately stopped talking.

Well, they did care about the Great Sage, but the prerequisite was that the black hat on his head could be worn firmly.

Everyone in the court, whether civil or military, knows that the emperor loves the empress to the core. For the empress, he is willing to withstand the pressure from the previous dynasty and keep the harem empty.

Today is the ceremony of crowning the empress. Anyone who is so blind as to offend the emperor will be punished by him once this matter is over.

One of the ministers was confused and worried. After a moment of silence, he came up with a bad idea:

"Well, how about letting Lord Jiang go?

If we go to persuade him, the emperor will be unwilling and will definitely give us a cold face.

But Lord Jiang is different. As the Empress's elder brother, the Emperor will certainly give Lord Jiang some face for the Empress' sake."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone nodded and immediately went to look for the person among the officials.

When Jiang Yuanzhou was pulled out of the crowd by Lord Wang from the Ministry of Rites, he still had a smile on his face. After listening to what several people said, the smile on his face did not change, but his eyes turned cold.

“Thank you so much for your kindness and respect for Jiang.

But please forgive me for speaking frankly. I feel that the emperor's move is not against the will of heaven, but is a good thing for the prosperity of the country and the people.

The emperor and empress are of one mind, the people are in agreement, and the harem is harmonious. This is the blessing of the Great Sage.

Instead of focusing on these insignificant matters, the adults should focus more on the court.

Yesterday, Jiang met the emperor in the imperial study. The emperor was reviewing a memorial from the Ministry of Revenue. This year, there was a serious flood in the south. The emperor seemed to feel that several officials in the Ministry of Revenue were not doing their work seriously. He was preparing to ask them about the disaster relief funds after the ceremony of conferring the empress.

The officials from the Ministry of Revenue should make preparations."

The smile on Jiang Yuanzhou's face faded, and he turned around and walked out of the circle of people surrounding him, leaving only a few officials from the Ministry of Revenue surrounding Lord Wang from the Ministry of Rites, who were sweating profusely.

Jiang Yuanzhou's words completely stopped the others from trying to persuade him. They gathered together with bitter faces, all thinking about how to deal with the emperor's questioning in a few days.

Jiang Wumei climbed onto the man's shoulder, and through the swaying phoenix crown, she looked at the people with different expressions on the stone steps, with a dazzling smile on her lips.

The nerves that had been tense all day suddenly relaxed. Jiang Wumei pressed herself against Xiao Tong's chest, where his heartbeat was steady, and let herself trust the man in front of her wholeheartedly:

"Your Majesty, after the coronation ceremony, I have something to tell you."

The long legs wrapped in the dragon robe stepped onto a new stone step. Xiao Tong held the person in his arms firmly, and a smile flashed in his black eyes:

"is it?

It just so happens that I have something to tell you.

Just think of it as exchanging secrets with Niao Niao."

Perhaps it was because of their telepathy, or perhaps it was the atmosphere, but when Jiang Wumei heard this, her heart stopped and an incredible guess came to her mind.

When Xiao Tong woke up from his coma for no reason, his temperament changed drastically and he even killed Chun Yurong directly. Could it be that there was a trace of everything?

Could it be that the person in front of her has also had experiences that are unimaginable to ordinary people, just like her and Junjun?

This guess was too unbelievable. Jiang Wumei didn't dare to think about it too deeply, but she couldn't help but look up at the man who was holding her.

The man's facial features were still handsome, and his every move was familiar to her as she had been with him day and night.

It's absolutely impossible for a core replacement to happen. The most likely possibility is that Xiao Tong experienced everything in his past life during his coma...

Xiao Tong didn't realize that he had revealed half of the secret in just one sentence. Noticing the quietness of the person in his arms, Xiao Tong lowered his eyes, placed a kiss on her delicate eyebrows, and sighed:

"Niao Niao, I have finally waited until today."
