"Mother..." Gu Lingyue called out and looked at Tang Shi, but she didn't know how to start the conversation and hesitated.

Tang wiped away her tears and said with annoyance, "What's wrong with me? You're getting married today, I should be happy."

As she spoke, a smile appeared on her face, and she instructed, "Although you will be the Empress in the future, the most noble woman in the world, in my heart, you will always be my daughter. Don't bear difficulties on your own. You still have your mother and your maternal grandparents. No matter what happens, we will stand by your side."

Listening to Tang's rambling instructions, Gu Lingyue's eyes welled up with tears again. At this moment, she guessed that Tang might have known all along that she was not her daughter.

The reason she chose not to speak might be that she still harbored some hope, and if he spoke, wouldn't he shatter that hope?

Thinking about this, Gu Lingyue suddenly understood.

When the original owner was alive, she was not good to the Tang family at all. It was I who cured the Tang family's illness. Moreover, my body is also the original owner's body. From this perspective, I am also the Tang family's daughter, so why am I being pretentious?

It seems my pregnancy has really messed up my brain, and I'm actually getting caught up in this.

So Gu Lingyue stepped forward and hugged Tang Shi's arm, saying coquettishly, "Mother, don't worry, no matter what happens, your daughter will always be your daughter, and that will never change."

Tang patted Gu Lingyue's shoulder reproachfully, "Silly girl, of course you are your mother's daughter. You came out of my belly, how could you become someone else's daughter?"

At this moment, Long Shang walked in wearing a red twelve-symbol imperial robe. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Gu Lingyue wearing a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, and then his eyes were filled with amazement.

He was still unconscious when they got married for the first time, and he didn't see his Yue'er in her wedding dress. His Yue'er was already beautiful, and today she wore exquisite makeup, making her even more stunning and captivating, so much so that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Gu Lingyue smiled at Long Shang as he entered.

Long Shang's deep eyes were filled with tenderness as he slowly walked towards her.

At this moment, Madam Tang handed Gu Lingyue's hand to Long Shang and said solemnly, "I am entrusting Yue'er to the Emperor. I hope that the Emperor will continue to treat her well and not let down Yue'er's affection for the Emperor."

Long Shang held Gu Lingyue's hand tightly and solemnly said, "I will never betray her in this life."

A happy smile appeared on Gu Lingyue's face. Long Shang picked her up and carried her outside, with Tang Shi and Wen Xiu following closely behind.

Long Shang arranged for the wedding to be held in the Golden Palace.

At this moment, inside the Golden Palace, vermilion palace lanterns hung high, and golden silk curtains draped down, filling the hall with dazzling splendor.

All the civil and military officials were dressed in court robes and stood in rows on both sides with their families.

After Long Shang led Gu Lingyue into the Golden Palace, everyone knelt and shouted, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empress!"

Gu Lingyue wore a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, the gold-embroidered phoenix and dragon robe shimmering in the candlelight. Her face wore a gentle and elegant smile, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

At this moment, Long Shang led Gu Lingyue directly to the Golden Palace, then turned around and swept his majestic gaze over the civil and military officials in the hall.

"Today is a joyous occasion for the Empress and me on our wedding day, a day of celebration for the entire nation. My beloved ministers, there is no need for further formalities. Rise!"

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty! Thank you, Empress!" The officials and their families stood up and stood on both sides in silence.

At this moment, Gao Ming stepped forward and sang loudly: "Heaven blesses our dynasty, the emperor and empress are of one mind, and blessings extend to all people!"

As soon as his chanting ended, the sound of bells and drums rang out, ceremonial music began, and fireworks burst outside the hall.

Long Shang led Gu Lingyue by the hand to the dragon throne and helped her sit down.

Gu Lingyue hesitated for a moment and looked at Long Shang.

Long Shang smiled gently at her, "Yue'er, sit down. From now on, what's mine is yours, and my empire is your empire, so you don't need to worry at all."

Hearing this, Gu Lingyue felt a surge of emotion and nodded, "Okay."

Then he sat down without any hesitation.

Her own man was already making her look good; if she kept acting coy, wouldn't she seem petty?

The ministers were all shocked. They never expected that the Emperor would let the Empress sit on his dragon throne. They all knew exactly what this meant.

Next, the master of ceremonies stepped forward to read the imperial edict, the decree conferring the title of Empress. "The auspicious hour has arrived. Your Majesty and Empress, please perform the wedding ceremony."

In fact, Long Shang was worried that Gu Lingyue would get tired, so he originally planned to skip the wedding ceremony. However, he remembered that when they got married last time, Gu Lingyue had to bow to a rooster because of Ye Xinyu, so he decided to leave the ceremony out.

After the wedding ceremony, Long Shang told his ministers to make themselves at home, and he took Gu Lingyue back to his residence.
