Chapter 1412: Empress Conferring Ceremony
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
She could feel Xue Yan’s body stiffen. Immediately after, he tried his best to make himself relax.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Xue Yan’s lips.
It was not until midnight when the people on the street had dispersed that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue came down from the roof. Their hands were still clasped together as they walked along the quiet and empty street.
They strolled back to the house where she had placed the sky lantern.
They all had their rooms in this courtyard house. Like at home, their rooms were adjacent to each other. They stayed in this courtyard house for one night. The next day, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan returned to the village.
When he told his family that they were going to get married, they were not surprised. Yet, their enthusiasm skyrocketed through the roof.
Shao Youyue and Liu Guixia immediately got someone to check the date. Seeing that Jiang Yue’s birthday was especially good, they decided to marry her on the day she turned eighteen.
Jiang Yue would only turn eighteen on October 17th. Now, they had plenty of time to prepare for the wedding.
In Shengming Academy, when Xue Shi and the others learned that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were together and that they were getting married on the 17th of October, they were pleasantly surprised and jumped up and down.
When they heard what Shen Yuxuan said, they thought that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue would never be together. It was a pleasant surprise.
That day, they even skipped cla.s.s and came back.
“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, we’re so happy for you!” They all surrounded Xue Yan and Jiang Yue, raising their little heads and saying this.
Then, they jumped up and down happily.
If it wasn’t for Yu Hongyan and the others stopping them, they would have set off firecrackers.
Jiang Yue was still the same as usual. It was just that Xue Yan had quietly become famous again with his… sharp ears…
When Shen Yuxuan heard about this, he did not ask why his good friend was suddenly together again. Wasn’t there a big problem he couldn’t solve? He was so happy for his good friend that he didn’t care.
However, Xue Yan was still the Emperor. They could get married in the village, but they had to go to the capital city to hold an Empress ceremony to let the people of Da Ling know that they had an Empress.
After discussing it with Jiang Yue, Xue Yan sent someone back to the capital to inform the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the Empress Conferring Ceremony.
The Ministry of Rites had waited for so many years, and finally, their Emperor was about to get married. They immediately became busy. It only took them two months to prepare.
Then, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan set off for the Imperial Capital.
The family members did not go together. After all, this was just a formality. To them, it was not a real wedding. On the day of the real wedding, everyone in the family would be there.
On September 9th, the Empress Ceremony was held in the capital city. Jiang Yue became the Empress of Da Ling under the witness of all the officials and n.o.bles.
According to Da Ling’s ancestral system, on the night of the Empress conferring ceremony, the Empress and Emperor had to stay together.
Xue Yan became nervous at the thought of that.
Although he had been together with Jiang Yue for more than two months, they had never truly lived in the same room. Xue Yan unconsciously coughed.
Fortunately, there was still some time before the sky turned dark.
Xue Yan pressed his fist to his lips again and coughed dryly before going to the royal study. Jiang Yue didn’t go. She went to change out of the Empress’s ceremonial dress. They were very heavy. Since the Empress conferring ceremony had ended, she wanted to change into lighter clothes.
In the royal study, he was discussing important court matters with some ministers. Since he was in the Imperial Capital, he decided to take care of some matters that needed his attention.
