Chapter 1273: Chapter 1273: Phoenix Spirit Palanquin
At the propitious ti, Ye You appeared at the end of the red carpet in magnificent attire, and the crowd erupted into cheers and shouts that echoed skyward.
Ye You was dressed in a wide black robe, its edges embroidered with golden threads depicting the pattern of a phoenix soaring through the nine heavens, exuding steadiness and nobility. A belt with the sa pattern cinched his waist, lending the robe a distinctive elegance.
Beneath this garnt that highlighted his status, Ye You’s usual carefree deanor was replaced by the majesty and dignity of soone in a high position.
What shocked Ge Lun was that right behind Ye You stood Qin Sisi, also dressed in black.
Theoretically, those who should be following Ye You were the clan leaders of the other eight families besides the Jiuxi Royal Family. These eight leaders would walk behind Ye You, stepping on the vivid red carpet, slowly crossing the plaza, and entering the palace that symbolized ultimate power, signifying that the Eight Great Families would stand united with Ye You against all odds.
If the prince were already married by the ti of the coronation ceremony, he could attend with his wife. However, bringing a fiancée to the ceremony was unprecedented.
But now, as his fiancée, Qin Sisi stood behind Ye You, ahead of the eight clan leaders. Ye You’s intentions towards Qin Sisi becoming the sacred queen were crystal clear and unchangeable.
Ge Lun’s hand, hidden in his sleeve, clenched into a fist. Ye You truly showed no leniency. By presenting Qin Sisi in this manner, it was as if Ye You had already recognized her identity and status before the world, rendering the position of sacred queen out of Ya Ling’s reach.
Qin Sisi’s outfit matched Ye You’s exactly: the sa black robe, the sa phoenix pattern, the sa cinching belt.
The belt accentuated Qin Sisi’s slender waist, making her appear even more graceful. Her long black hair was styled into a neat immortal knot, adorned with a golden phoenix hairpin, and swaying gold beads accompanied her steps, radiating a regal air.
Qin Sisi’s appearance also surprised everyone present, but no one dared to comnt. Firstly, Ye You was soon to beco the Sage Ruler, possessing the authority and ability to decide on his marriage.
Secondly, this future sacred queen could even slay Tian Xiaozi, indicating formidable magic power and a daunting personality. Ordinary people would not dare to offend her lightly.
Qin Sisi hadn’t expected that killing Tian Xiaozi for Ye You would end up bringing such benefits, making many fear this decisive sacred queen and thus abandon any inappropriate thoughts.
Ye You led Qin Sisi and the clan leaders of the Eight Great Families across the red carpet into the center of power of Fengge Wang City—the Royal Palace. In the vast and solemn Jiu Hua Hall, Ye You ascended the golden throne, officially becoming the Sage Ruler of the Demon Sacred Realm.
That night, Ye You hosted a grand banquet. High-level managers from the Nine Great Families attended, offering sincere blessings and oaths of loyalty to the new Sage Ruler.
Among the populace, a festive mode comnced as they sang and danced, celebrating Ye You’s return and ascension.
On the high astronomical observatory, a cascade of brilliant fireworks was set off, painting the night sky in vivid colors and drawing enthusiastic cheers from the crowd below.
As ti approached midnight, the revelry of the coronation night drew to a close. Ye You and Qin Sisi finally bid farewell to all the guests who attended the banquet, both showing signs of fatigue, exchanged wry smiles.
Ye You held Qin Sisi’s hand and led her to a palace with exquisite and magnificent architecture.
Qin Sisi thought they were going in to rest and was about to take a step forward when Ye You pulled her back and whispered, "This is the Phoenix Palace where the Sage Ruler and sacred queen reside. After our formal marriage, we’ll live here."
"What about tonight?" Qin Sisi asked, nearly unable to keep her eyes open due to exhaustion.
Ye You’s fingers gently caressed Qin Sisi’s cheek as he chuckled softly, "Tonight we’ll stay elsewhere. I want to save the Phoenix Palace for our wedding night."
Qin Sisi blushed, yet felt joyful inside. They had been together for a long ti, and it was clear that Ye You valued their marriage deeply; otherwise, he wouldn’t treasure their wedding night so much.
That night, they lodged at Cuiyun Palace on the western side of the Royal Palace. In the Demon Sacred Realm, which followed monogamy, the Sage Ruler did not maintain a harem, so the Royal Palace was not overly expansive. The largest structures were the Jiu Hua Hall for official duties and the Phoenix Palace for resting. Instead, many areas were devoted to magic practice.
The side palaces were generally reserved for the parents and children of the Sage Ruler. So high-ranking subordinates could temporarily stay there if they couldn’t return in ti after paying a visit, provided they had Ye You’s order.
At the mont, the Royal Palace was quite empty, and these palaces were tidied up and ready for any use.
Ye You wouldn’t let such an important and morable night pass uneventfully. After a tender ti together, the eastern sky began to lighten slightly.
Ye You embraced Qin Sisi’s soft body and spoke softly, "In three days, the Eight Great Families will return to their territories. You should first stay with Teacher Yirou in Miaoyin City for a while. In a month, I’ll co in the Phoenix Spirit Palanquin to bring you ho."
Since Qin Sisi was nominally the adopted daughter of Yirou and Chen Song, it was only proper for her to reside in the ilan Family. Returning in person to Miaoyin City to escort her would formalize things, ensuring that Qin Sisi wouldn’t end up ambiguously residing in the Royal Palace, which would make the wedding seem improper and disrespectful to her.
Qin Sisi blushed completely but still curiously asked, "What is the Phoenix Spirit Palanquin?"
Ye You chuckled and replied, "The Phoenix Spirit Palanquin is used exclusively for the Sage Ruler’s grand wedding. You’ll see it when the ti cos."
Qin Sisi thought about it and agreed, refraining from further questions. She would wait until the wedding day to witness this marvelous Phoenix Spirit Palanquin with her own eyes.
Her heart filled with sweetness and tenderness, Qin Sisi fell into a deep sleep in Ye You’s arms.
Three days later, Qin Sisi tearfully bid farewell to Ye You and departed with Yirou and Chen Song towards Miaoyin City.
Sitting in the soft and comfortable carriage, Qin Sisi felt an emptiness in her heart. She and Ye You hadn’t been apart for so long, and being separated for the wedding felt like life was sohow incomplete.
Nevertheless, regardless of how Qin Sisi felt, for their future’s sake, they had to bear this temporary separation.
Both comforted themselves that it was just a month’s wait, and it would pass quickly.
The convoy gradually left Fengge Wang City, passing through the Birdsong Forest, known as the paradise for bird demonic beasts, and then through the Divine Dog City, reaching the All Souls Forest.
After traversing the All Souls Forest, they would enter the territory of Miaoyin City. However, the journey to the inner city where they would reside was still long. As they had nothing else to do, the group took their ti, leisurely following the winding paths into the All Souls Forest.
