On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

The morning light filtered through the carved window lattices, trickling into the bathroom inside the majestic palace.

Empress Murong Yan was dressed in a black phoenix robe, with a tall and straight figure. The phoenix robe was pure black, like the deepest night, and was decorated with luxury to make it dazzling.

The material of this robe is top-grade black silk that came from the Western Regions. It feels cool to the touch, as smooth as water, and emits a faint cold light, as if it can absorb all the light around it.

It was embroidered with phoenixes in pure gold threads as fine as ox hair. The phoenixes were vivid, with their heads raised high. The rubies inlaid in their eyes were as red as if burning, and very sharp, which could stun people at first sight.

The phoenix's beak is pointed and slightly open, as if it will sing loudly and break through the sky in the next second.

The phoenix's neck is long and elegant, and its feathers are layered, each piece carefully pieced together with gemstones of different colors such as blue turquoise, pink coral, and white pearls. When Murong Yan moves slightly, they sparkle, as if the phoenix is ​​about to fly, and colorful light flows continuously.

The belt around the waist was about three inches wide, also black with gold embroidery. In the middle hung an emerald jade pendant, as green as a bottomless pool, surrounded by a circle of tiny yellow diamonds, like stars surrounding the moon.

Below the jade pendant hung a palm-sized Ruyi knot, with gold threads wrapped around it and rubies dotted here and there. The tassels were made of ice-blue crystals, each cut into a diamond shape. When she walked, the crystals collided with each other, reflecting cool and fragmented light, like a swaying galaxy.

Look at the phoenix crown again.

The whole thing is made of black hollow purple gold, supported by a phoenix tail that is raised high. The phoenix feathers are carved from black jade with clear textures, and are smart and elegant.

In front of the phoenix crown, an extremely large phoenix with its wings spread stands majestically, occupying almost the front half of the phoenix crown.

The phoenix's body is made of a golden skeleton with colorful gems attached to it. When the phoenix flaps its wings, the sapphire feathers on the left sparkle, and the emerald feathers on the right complement each other. Every time the wings flap, there is a loud noise like thunder and wind.

There are twelve bead curtains hanging down from the back of the phoenix crown. Each bead curtain is made of rare gemstones such as oriental pearls, southern red, and cat's eye. Some are long, some are short, and the arrangement is very elaborate.

The longest bead curtain fell to Murong Yan's shoulders. She took a light step, and the bead curtains collided with each other, making a tinkling sound, like heavenly music, announcing the emperor's majesty.

She stood in front of the mirror, her posture straight, her shoulders slightly pulled back, and her kingly aura emerged.

She raised her hand, her slender fingers slightly bent, and gently touched the collar of her phoenix robe.

Her fingertips slid across the cool gems and smooth robe material, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was carefully feeling this unique luxury, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up, revealing a satisfied smile.

Then, she gently lifted the corner of her robe with her left hand, and with her right hand, like playing a musical instrument, her fingers nimbly shuttled between the belts around her waist, carefully arranging the exquisitely embroidered Ruyi knot.

The golden thread of the Ruyi knot twisted around her fingertips, the rubies gleamed faintly, and the burnt blue crystals of the tassels collided with each other, making tiny sounds. However, she seemed to be immersed in her own little world, her eyes focused and revealing a bit of leisure, as if this phoenix robe was the only thing in the world worth her attention.

Sometimes she leaned slightly to the left, turned her neck gently, and stared at the embroidery on the shoulders and neck of the phoenix robe, to see if every gold thread outline and every gem inlay was perfect; sometimes she turned lightly to the right, looked back, and checked whether the pleats of the skirt were natural and smooth, just like examining a masterpiece to be seen by the world.

Her face was calm and confident, and occasionally a sharp light flashed in her eyes, as if she could see through the mirror and see everything going on in the court and inside and outside the palace.

Behind him, Zhang Li stood quietly with her head bowed, her smooth black hair neatly tied behind her head. She was wearing a purple long dress with simple dark patterns embroidered on the cuffs and hem, but it couldn't hide her noble and gentle temperament.

Murong Yan opened her red lips slightly, her voice clear and pleasant: "Li'er, what do you think of this black phoenix robe of mine? Compared to the golden one I wore before, does it have a different flavor?"

Zhang Li raised her head, her eyes gazing at the empress, and said with admiration, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this black phoenix robe perfectly complements your temperament and exudes a domineering aura. You are now the emperor of the most powerful nation, commanding might and authority. This black is like the deep night sky, and only you, the ruler of the universe, can suppress it. It is even more majestic than gold."

When Murong Yan heard this, a smile appeared on her lips, and like a flower blooming in spring, it suddenly lit up the bathroom.

"I think so too. Lately, I've always felt that this mood suits black better, so I asked someone to buy a black phoenix robe. Alas, those old guys in the court are so pedantic, I don't know what nonsense they will say when they see me wearing this."

There was a sense of carefreeness and helplessness in his words.

Zhang Li pursed her lips and smiled, taking two steps forward. She whispered, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Last time you made the treasury public, almost everyone in the court benefited. Besides, you're the emperor, and it's your decision as to what to wear. I don't think they'd dare bother you again with such a small matter."

Murong Yan nodded slightly, her eyes sparkling: "You are right. After this incident, I will be more casual about my clothes from now on."

After a pause, her beautiful eyes moved, and her smile was teasing, "That's right, even the right to wear whatever I want was bought with gold and silver. It's really absurd when you think about it."

Zhang Li covered her mouth and smiled softly, her eyebrows curved. "Your Majesty, our family is extremely wealthy. Not only can we afford a few phoenix robes, but even redecorating this palace with gold and silver wouldn't be difficult. Just enjoy yourselves."

"Hahahaha." Murong Yan threw her head back and laughed heartily. Her laughter was so hearty that it made the carved ornaments in the room buzz.

After laughing, she suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Li with a burning gaze, looking her up and down, making Zhang Li's cheeks slightly red.

"I see you have a very graceful figure, with long, straight legs and soft curves. Your breasts are full and round. You are beautiful and smart, no wonder your husband dotes on you so much."

Zhang Li's cheeks instantly turned red like the clouds in the sky. She lowered her head, not daring to raise her eyes, and her voice was like the humming of a mosquito.

"Being liked by my husband and His Majesty is a blessing I have cultivated for several lifetimes."

"Alright, alright. I know our family is now very wealthy, and a lot of our assets are supported by you alone. Go back. I also need to have dinner and practice martial arts in the afternoon."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After saying that, Zhang Li slowly knelt down and saluted, then took light steps and retreated step by step. Each step showed respect and gentleness, until she left the bathroom and gently closed the door.

Murong Yan waited there for a moment, as if she was collecting her thoughts. She raised her head slightly, took a deep breath, and then walked forward steadily.

The train of the phoenix robe was originally piled on the table in layers, like a mountain of black brocade. As Murong Yan walked, the front end first slowly slid down, and then like a black waterfall, it spread out on the ground bit by bit and elegantly.

The tail is fifty meters long and is also embroidered with exquisite phoenixes and intricate patterns. Every inch of it exudes luxury. When dragged on the ground, the gems rub against the ground gently, making a subtle but crisp sound, as if humming the emperor's dignity.

Murong Yan walked out of the palace with her head held high, dragging her long phoenix robe, as if she wanted to dye the road ahead of the palace with her strong color.
