Chapter 18 Canonization
The Shangyuan Festival is coming, and the canonization ceremony will be held as scheduled.

When the sky was slightly white, Song Qing'an was pulled up by the palace maids.

A group of maidservants crowded around Song Qing'an, almost pushing out the bamboo smoke.

Because Song Qing'an had to be canonized and prayed for blessings, he dressed up extra grandly on this day, and Zhai chose the highest standard for his clothes and headgear.

This grooming took two hours, during which Song Qing'an was drowsy, and she didn't wake up until her head sank.

"Princess, it's almost time."

Zhu Yan reminded in a low voice on the side, and by the way, wrapped the pastry in oiled paper and handed it to Song Qing'an.

The Jiuzhai crown on his head was too heavy, Song Qing'an had to straighten his neck, and couldn't even nod.She replied softly, then got up from the chair, and a maid immediately stepped forward to support her.

Zhu Yan didn't follow, and stood there watching Song Qing'an slowly leave.

The princess has to leave the palace for a whole day, so she has to stay here.As for the princess... there are people sent by Mr. Palm Print.

The canonization ceremony was held in Hongning Palace. Song Qing'an had to kneel in the side hall to receive the canonization, and then went to the main hall to pay respects to Emperor Liang.

I don't know how Pei Qing told Emperor Liang, but when Song Qing'an entered the inner hall, he immediately saw Pei Qing who had been waiting inside.

He changed into the black robe, wearing a scarlet boa robe, wearing a crown inlaid with three gold mountains, and his long body stood in the southeast corner.The female historians on all sides held their breaths and lowered their eyebrows.When Song Qing'an approached, they all bowed together, and even Pei Qing bowed down.

"I have seen the princess."

Song Qingan glanced sideways at him, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

The two walked to the imperial case one by one, Song Qing'an knelt down in front of the steps, and Pei Qing walked up to it and read the imperial edict.

The content of the edict was basically the same as the previous one, Pei Qing read it casually, while looking at Song Qing'an who was next.

Although she was kneeling, her back was straight, her eyelashes drooped, and her face was calm.Nine Zhai crowns on the head are exquisitely emerald, inlaid with turquoise, jadeite, agate, tourmaline, etc., bright and luxurious.The two phoenixes on the crown each hold a string of pearls, which hang down with a soft luster, complementing the plum blossom wreath under the ear.

She was wearing a dark blue Zhai dress, on which ostriches and flowers were embroidered with gold and silver thread.Song Qing'an was seldom so grand on weekdays, but dressed up like this, she was also graceful and gorgeous, with a certain power of her own.

The Zhucuihua clothes made her face even more beautiful, and she was so beautiful that she was not like ordinary people.

Pei Qing looked away calmly, and read the edict to the end.

"...The reputation will be passed down to future generations. I honor it."

He put away the imperial edict and handed it to the nvshi who was kneeling beside him, and the nvshi put the edict into Song Qing'an's hands.

Song Qing'an thanked her, then got up, followed by Nu Shi, and went to the main hall.

Emperor Liang was already on the throne, Song Qing'an only raised his eyelids and took a quick glance.When she reached the center of the main hall, she stopped moving forward, picked up the hem of her clothes and knelt down, respectfully saluted eight times.

Emperor Liang said a few words of warning in accordance with the ritual system, and the canonization etiquette should end here.Song Qing'an had already told him to retreat outside the hall, but was stopped by Liu Qiyun outside.

Liu Qiyun is not a queen, so she cannot sit on the throne with Emperor Liang, but she is a concubine in the harem after all, so she led a group of concubines outside to watch the ceremony.

"Princess, the ceremony is not over yet."

Song Qing'an slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Qiyun.Today's Liu Qiyun did not look worried because of Liu Sijin's entry into the palace, and she was even a little proud.Song Qing'an naturally knew why Liu Qiyun was so proud.

According to the previous promise of Emperor Liang, Emperor Liang will issue a marriage order at the canonization ceremony.

But... Song Qing'an pursed her lips and smiled, and said calmly: "Yes, thank you for reminding me, Ma'am."

Liu Qiyun chuckled lightly and said no more.

Just a moment later...she couldn't laugh anymore.

It stands to reason that Emperor Liang should have come out at this time, but they waited for another cup of tea, but Emperor Liang was still nowhere to be seen.

The smile on Liu Qiyun's face gradually faded, and anxiety floated between her brows and eyes.

Just as everyone was guessing secretly, there was another commotion outside the Hongning Palace, and a group of maidservants embraced a girl and went to the inner hall.

After seeing the girl's face clearly, Liu Qiyun's eyes widened slightly, and she lost her mind for a moment.

Sijin?Why is Sijin here?
Could it be that His Majesty didn't want to bring Sijin into the harem, but...

All of a sudden, Liu Qiyun's breath was stagnant, and she turned her head to look at Song Qing'an, who was leisurely and leisurely, her phoenix eyes were like poison.

"What's the matter, concubine?"

Song Qing'an asked gently, but to Liu Qiyun's ears, this was no different from provocation.

But there were so many people, even if she really wanted to teach Song Qing'an a lesson, she could only swallow it now.So Liu Qiyun suppressed her anger and smiled, "It's nothing."

Her intuition told her that this matter had something to do with Song Qing'an.

Liu Sijin quickly came out from the hall, followed by an eunuch who announced the decree.

Seeing that Liu Sijin's eyes were slightly red, and the smile on her face was very forced, Liu Qiyun's heart became heavier and heavier.

"Following the Heaven's Carrying Forward, Emperor Kuanwen Rensheng issued an imperial decree... to marry Princess Yuhe and Xiye, to secure and stabilize the country. I respect this."

Liu Sijin is the newly named Princess Yuhe.

Song Qing'an knelt at the back, almost unable to hide the smile in his eyes.

For the Liu family, Liu Sijin's marriage was indeed a moderate loss.

Liu Qiyun, oh Liu Qiyun, really lifted a rock and shot herself in the foot.

This canonization ceremony should also be over, Song Qing'an got up with everyone, and the soft sedan chair to pick her up outside the palace was already waiting outside.

"Is the princess really going against Mrs. Liu?"

Liu Qiyun and Song Qingan walked side by side, both of them smirked, and outsiders looked harmonious.However, the two people's exchanges and words are hidden sharpness, full of silent gunpowder.

"Your Majesty, Qing'an never intended to do that." Song Qing'an smiled gently, "But someone is plotting, so I have no choice but to respect the other party."

She paused, and blessed Liu Qiyun: "Your Majesty has a lot of people, I hope you will take care of me, Qing'an will take my leave first."

Liu Qiyun silently watched Song Qing'an's leaving back, the coldness in her eyes deepened.



The soft sedan stopped at the second palace gate, Song Qing'an got off the sedan chair, and walked out of the first palace gate.Outside the palace, Luanjia who picked up the princess has been waiting for a long time.Pei Qing was riding on a horse, behind him were a large number of Habayashi guards and Dongchang factory guards; on both sides of the road, ministers and their families stood in order of rank.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the person who was slowly walking towards him.

Song Qing'an also looked at him, feeling a little surprised.She had only mentioned that Pei Qing should come to bear the praise, but she didn't want Pei Qing to escort her into the temple to pray for blessings.

After all, in Pei Qing's capacity, he should disdain to do such a thing.

Unlike before in the palace, now Pei Qing was sitting on a tall horse with a sword around his waist, and the factory guards formed a semicircle behind him.If one ignores Pei Qing's cold and murderous intent, she looks a lot like a gentleman who came to welcome his relatives.

When Song Qing'an approached, Pei Qing got off the horse and went to help Song Qing'an into the sedan chair.The latter put his hand on his forearm very naturally.

The moment he boarded the Luanjia, Song Qing'an turned his head slightly and said softly, "Thank you for the palm print."

Pei Qing raised her eyes and saw that Princess Zhaoding's beautiful and charming eyes were shining with stars, her vermilion lips were slightly red, and her dimples were shallow.The eyes of the two collided, and each of them knew each other.So Pei Qing laughed lowly, and said softly, "It's our family's business."

After Song Qing'an sat down in the sedan chair, Pei Qing quickly got on the horse and walked to the front of the sedan chair.The factory guards and Yu Lin guards spread out to both sides of the Luan sedan chair. Liu Quan followed behind Pei Qing and shouted loudly: "Get up the sedan chair—"

A group of people marched towards Zhenguo Temple in a mighty manner, and the officials on both sides knelt down and worshiped, and their voices shook the sky.
