Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

Nakata looked around, then furtively jumped through the window and walked straight to the mirror. The mirror reflected a rather masculine face.

Le Xingxi looked Zhong Tian up and down. If she hadn't been quite familiar with Zhong Niang, she probably wouldn't have recognized her: "Zhong Niang, what's this?"

Looking at herself in the mirror, Zhongtian felt rather awkward. The memories of modern society were far removed from her, but she was glad that she hadn't forgotten modern makeup techniques. She spent more than two hours fussing and fiddling in front of the mirror before finally managing to create a more masculine look for herself.

"Xingxi, how was it? Did anyone recognize you? Tomorrow when you go to the palace, I'll disguise myself as your attendant and go with you!"

Le Xingxi covered her mouth to prevent others from hearing her exclamation: "Zhongniang, are you crazy? Do you think the palace is your home, where you can go and leave as you please? This is too dangerous!"

"By doing this, you are putting yourself in danger! Zhongniang, you don't need to do such a risky thing for me!"

Zhongtian looked at Le Xingxi, who was dressed in an elaborate and exquisite wedding gown, looking as beautiful as a fairy from heaven.

Zhongtian tucked a strand of hair behind Le Xingxi's ear and said.

"Xingxi, the palace will be in chaos tomorrow! Your wedding ceremony with His Majesty will definitely not be able to proceed! I'll feel more at ease with me by your side, protecting you. Don't worry! With my martial prowess, ordinary people can't even get close to me!"

Le Xingxi couldn't shake the feeling that he hadn't gotten over. He looked at Zhong Tian, ​​shook his head firmly, and said, "I disagree."

"General Yue has already agreed. If I want to blend into the wedding procession, I definitely can't do it without General Yue's approval! Xingxi, don't be willful. Your mother and I are very worried about you."

“I can adapt to any situation! I don’t want you to take risks for me!” Le Xingxi kept shaking her head.

"Xingxi, is your plan to go down in flames with His Majesty? Xingxi, do I have to take the dagger from your waist myself?"

Le Xingxi's face was somewhat pale. He touched the dagger at his waist, which gave him a sense of security. He said, "Don't take this dagger. I need it to protect myself."

"sorry!"

Le Congxi didn't know why Zhong Niang apologized, but then she felt Zhong Tian touch her waist, and Le Congxi began to struggle violently!

“Xingxi, your dagger can cut through iron like mud. If you struggle any longer, this dagger will hurt me!” Zhongtian said.

Le Xingxi stopped struggling immediately, and a blush spread across his earlobes.

Zhongtian quickly retrieved the dagger, an exquisitely crafted weapon inlaid with a red gemstone. The dagger fell to the ground with a piercing sound.

Looking into Yue Xingxi's eyes, Zhongtian said seriously, "Xingxi, in the face of absolute power, your dagger will only become a toy that angers His Majesty!"

"Xingxi, listen to me, okay? Take me to the palace, I can protect you! I can be your dagger, and when necessary, I can..."

Le Xingxi immediately stepped forward and covered Zhongtian's mouth. Those two words absolutely could not be uttered; to say them would be an offense!

The night was cool. Zhongtian slept on the couch behind the screen, while Lexingxi lay on the bed inside. Through the screen, he could vaguely see Zhongtian's figure.

Tonight is a special night; it seems no one is sleepy. The General's Mansion is also not peaceful tonight, as the sounds of people moving around can be heard constantly.

"Zhongniang, I'm so nervous!"

"Don't be nervous, I'm here for you!" A gentle voice drifted into Le Xingxi's ears, and he fell asleep, lost in a deep dream!

The next morning, Le Xingxi was woken up by Jingtai. Le Xingxi was still a little sleepy, but Xigong was already waiting by the bedside.

Le Xingxi was treated like a doll, with Xi Gong applying makeup to her face, putting on elaborate and luxurious robes, and adorning her with exquisite and beautiful jewelry.

Le Xingxi only fully woke up when Zhongniang personally inserted the last phoenix hairpin into her hair.

His gaze fell upon Nakata standing behind him through the mirror. Nakata lowered his head slightly to avoid being exposed, making him inconspicuous in the crowd.

However, Le Xingxi could not look away. He had thought countless times about wearing a phoenix coronet and wedding robes to marry Zhong Niang, but today he was wearing the phoenix coronet and wedding robes, but he was marrying a woman he did not love at all!

But today wasn't too bad for him, as Zhongniang was with him.

"Let's go," Le Xingxi said, and Jingtai helped her out the door.

General Yue was already waiting outside. When he saw Yue Xingxi come out, he nodded to him, then mounted his tall horse and rode ahead!

Le Congxi needs to enter the palace herself and marry His Majesty there.

As the ruler of a country, even if Your Majesty marries a royal consort, you will not personally welcome him as you would an ordinary commoner.

Le Xingxi had no complaints; not seeing His Majesty, he only felt relaxed all over.

A majestic and solemn army of a thousand well-equipped and well-trained soldiers followed behind Le Xingxi.

When Yue Wentao entered the palace, she was followed by 500 soldiers. Today, as Yue Xingxi marries into the palace, General Yue is giving his son, who is about to become the emperor's consort, a full 1000 soldiers.

These 1000 soldiers will be stationed outside the palace. Three days later, when the Emperor returns to his parents' home, they will escort Le Xingxi back to the General's Mansion.

The crowd was vast, followed by onlookers. The carriage moved slowly forward and finally arrived outside the palace gates.

According to regulations, His Majesty would stand there, while officials of the fifth rank or above would stand on the east and west sides to welcome the Imperial Consort into the palace.

Today is a beautiful day, with a clear and refreshing breeze. A gentle breeze blew, causing the hem of Le Xingxi's dress to sway freely as she stepped down from the carriage.

The Minister of Rites hurriedly went to greet him.

However, Le Xingxi squinted at the position directly in front of the officials. According to custom, His Majesty was supposed to be waiting there, but there was no one there. Le Xingxi asked in confusion, "Lord Liang, where is His Majesty?"

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lady Liang's forehead, and her already bowed body drooped even lower. She said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Empress Dowager is unwell, so His Majesty went back to see her."

The people from the Zhong family who were escorting the bride looked at each other, their expressions somewhat unpleasant. General Yue, sitting on his horse, let out a cold snort, which made Lord Liang, who was in charge of the reception, break out in a cold sweat again!

Le Xingxi said very generously and appropriately, "Our dynasty has always ruled the world with filial piety. It is only right for His Majesty to visit the Empress Dowager because he cares about her. Lord Liang, please escort me to Kunning Palace!"
