Chapter 1077: Chapter 1079: Coronation and Grand Wedding (6)

Cai Wei couldn’t have been more relieved to not meet, also sparing herself from all the kneeling and bowing. Upon learning that the Retired Emperor would not see them, she was overjoyed and damaged the Dragon Carriage with Nangong Yi, preparing to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

Seeing her suddenly so happy, Nangong Yi couldn’t help but laugh and said, "What is it that makes Wei’er so happy? Share it so I can be happy too, shall we?"

Cai Wei shook her head, bitterly saying, "Of course, it’s because the Retired Emperor isn’t seeing us, I’m delighted. My neck is almost broken by this phoenix crown. If he had summoned us and lectured us, I might have been lying dead before he even finished his grand speeches!"

Nangong Yi, with furrowed brows and a pained expression, looked at the phoenix crown on Cai Wei’s head and suddenly said, "Yang Yong, back to Chengqian Palace!"

The Chengqian Palace was Empress Mu’s sleeping chamber, right next to the Emperor’s study room and only a short walk from where the Emperor worked. It was strategically chosen by the Emperor himself.

Yang Yong spoke softly and cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Empress hasn’t yet paid respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. It might not be proper to return to Chengqian Palace now!"

Nangong Yi, visibly displeased, said, "Yang Yong, if you say another word, you can roll back to your Jade Palace. I can manage without one eunuch!"

"Forgive me, Your Majesty; your servant spoke out of turn!"

Yang Yong hastily apologized and shut his mouth, daring not to speak another word.

Cai Wei, massaging her neck, said, "Well, I’ll just endure it a bit longer; it’s not like it’s going to kill me. It wouldn’t be worth it if it upset the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager!"

However, Nangong Yi said, "When we meet Imperial Mother later, we must listen to her lecture. If I’m not wrong, the High Concubines in the palace are probably there waiting to join in the fuss. If each takes a Shi Chen, it won’t end soon. Add on the teachings from the Empress Dowager, and these together might just break your delicate little neck!"

Upon hearing it would take that long, Cai Wei instantly felt overwhelmed. Now, it wasn’t just her neck that couldn’t take it; her stomach and belly couldn’t bear it either. Thus, under Nangong Yi’s indulgence, the two of them returned to their love nest—Chengqian Palace!

"The servant has seen the Emperor and the Empress Dowager!

At the palace gate, the eunuchs and palace maidens kneeling densely covered the ground, with Meng Huaian, the Eunuch Steward of Chengqian Palace, at the forefront, beside him was Pei Yao, the head palace maid of Chengqian Palace....

"Rise,"

Nangong Yi waved his hand casually, carefully supporting Cai Wei as they entered their palace garden.

Chengqian Palace was personally selected and supervised for renovation by Nangong Yi, as it would be his and Cai Wei’s long-term home. Thus, he ensured satisfaction in every detail.

The three-section expansive palace garden was magnificent and heavenly, with curved corridors enveloping the palace, rockeries, and grotesque stones scattered about, and a wide variety of strange flowers and weeds that filled the garden with fragrance.

Cai Wei’s sleeping chamber, located in the third section, was decorated even more luxuriously. The walls were adorned with vermilion paint and peculiarly silver tung oil, emitting a pervasive scent; strands of bright pearls served as curtains, and blue jade as tables; a sandalwood bed inlaid with coral; red gauze for curtains, decorated with jade; brocade quilts and embroidered pillows, all featuring gold woven dragons and phoenixes; and other furnishings, treasures, and antiques brilliantly shone, indescribable.

Their bridal chamber was in the Eastern Warm Pavilion, a double happiness character on the palace lamp hung in front of the bridal chamber door. The large red, gold-coated door sported a double happiness character painted in gold dust, with a large "Shou" character in cursive above the door, and on the wall next to the door, a long couplet stretched down to the ground. From the main entrance of Chengqian Palace to the entrance of the Eastern Warm Pavilion, as well as the outer eastern walkway of the bridal chamber, stood large red gold-rimmed wooden shadow walls, symbolizing the emperor and empress sharing cups of wine and the "Open Door to See Happiness" theme.
