Upon hearing his voice, Su Yan quickly replied, "Alright, alright, I'm coming out now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yan turned to Luo Bingbing and said, "Come on, Junior Sister, cover your head. I'll help you out."
Thus, Luo Bingbing was supported by Su Yan as she stepped out of her room, walking through the grand entrance of Piaoyun Pavilion and into the courtyard of the Wang residence.
Su Yi looked at the Little One dressed in red and felt a mix of emotions; deep down, it seemed that something very important was about to be lost.
At that moment, he had not yet realized that he had developed feelings for the Little One; he merely thought he was accustomed to being by her side and felt quite regretful about not being able to stay with her in the future.
However, he was not the only one feeling this regret.
Luo Yi, who had always admired Luo Bingbing and regarded her as his goal, was also feeling exceptionally troubled.
From this moment onward, he was destined to be alone. Therefore, he hid in a private room of a tavern on the street, continuously drinking to numb his heart.
He knew full well that he was not worthy of the Little One, yet he could not control his heart or stop his mind from thinking about her.
When he saw the Little One sitting in the Phoenix Palanquin, his heart ached painfully.
And when the Royal Guard escorting her disappeared down the street, he quickly left the tavern and returned to the headquarters of the Beggar Clan.
Dongfang Hao spotted Luo Bingbing's Phoenix Palanquin approaching from a distance. Thinking that the Little One was about to become his Empress made his heart race with excitement.
The Phoenix Palanquin slowly came to a stop at the palace gate. Dongfang Hao hurriedly walked up to it and bent down to embrace the Little One.
"Child, you finally arrived."
Luo Bingbing did not respond to him, nor did he expect her to.
Holding the Little One, he directly walked towards his Dragon Carriage. The etiquette officer beside him couldn't help but furrow his brows. Although he knew it was against tradition, he didn't dare to speak up.
After all, they were the Emperor and Empress; if he accidentally angered them, his head could be on the chopping block.
The other officials around shared the same thought, so no one dared to voice any objections.
Dongfang Hao carried Luo Bingbing straight to the altar, where he slowly lifted the veil from her head.
At that moment, he couldn't help but be secretly astonished. Although he already knew that the Little One was extraordinarily beautiful, he was still taken aback.
Looking into her deep, dark eyes that resembled a bottomless pool, Dongfang Hao found himself entranced and lost in thought...
"What's wrong? Not satisfied?" Luo Bingbing said with a mischievous smile. She was quite confident in her appearance!
"Little one, you're teasing me now."
Since they were the only two standing on the platform, no one else heard their exchange.
He slightly raised his hand to signal the etiquette officer below to begin. Upon seeing his gesture, the officer announced loudly, "The ceremony begins."
With this proclamation, the ministers below began to kneel in reverence to Luo Bingbing. After accepting their homage, she was officially conferred as the Empress of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
After the conferral ceremony concluded, Dongfang Hao carried Luo Bingbing to the Golden Throne Hall, where she again received the ministers' homage.
"Long live my Emperor! Long live my Empress!"
"Be at ease," Dongfang Hao said lightly as he sat on the dragon throne while holding Luo Bingbing. He then nodded towards the Grand Eunuch standing beside him.
Upon seeing him nod, the Chief Eunuch immediately announced loudly, "Summon the envoys from various nations."
With his call, several similar shouts echoed from outside the door. Soon after, the envoys from different countries entered the grand hall one by one, presenting their congratulatory gifts.
The first to enter was Emperor Yelü Yan of the Mohan Kingdom along with his ministers.
Yelü Yan was dressed in a purple and gold dragon robe, his hair styled into numerous small braids, and he casually walked into the hall holding a white feather fan.
He slightly nodded at Dongfang Hao before turning his gaze toward the Little One.
Noticing Yelü Yan's continuous stare at the Little One in his arms, Dongfang Hao instinctively hugged the Little One tighter.
"It is rare for the Northern Emperor to personally come to congratulate me; I am truly honored. Attendants, please show him to his seat."
"The Southern Emperor is too polite. I have come to promote friendship between our two nations and to enjoy the scenery of your country. This time, I have specially brought a great gift for the Southern Emperor."
"Oh? I wonder what great gift the Northern Emperor has brought?"
"It is the world's greatest treasure from a century ago—the Deep Sea Blood Pearl and high-quality Luwen Jade." At this point, he paused slightly, revealing a mysterious smile before continuing, "And ten beautiful maidens carefully selected for you."
"The Northern Emperor is indeed generous! I thank you." He said this outwardly, but inwardly he couldn't help but think, "The gifts are grand; I wonder what intentions lie behind them."
After the palace attendants took away those gifts, Hao Tian's Third Prince Ouyang Chen entered the grand hall along with others from Haotian Kingdom.
Ouyang Chen was dressed in a black brocade robe with a matching gold-trimmed belt, a broad smile on his face. However, despite his smile, those around him felt an ominous chill in the air.
From the moment he entered, his gaze never left Luo Bingbing sitting in Dongfang Hao's arms. His eyes were filled with intense possessiveness and a sinister intent.
Upon sensing his gaze, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but slightly furrow her brows. Feeling quite displeased, she secretly used her Ability to flick a bit of Itchy Powder onto Ouyang Chen.
The entire process took only an instant, so no one noticed the Little One's action, not even Dongfang Hao, who was holding her.
As he was merely a prince, he had to bow and pay his respects to Dongfang Hao.
"Third Prince, you have worked hard on your journey," Dongfang Hao said lightly. However, because Ouyang Chen had caused his Little One to frown just moments ago, Dongfang Hao's gaze towards him held a hint of coldness.
Yet Ouyang Chen didn't care at all and casually replied, "Not at all. Today is the Emperor's wedding day, and this prince has specially brought some gifts for the Emperor." After saying this, he clapped his hands.
Once the applause subsided, a dozen young and beautiful women entered in succession, each carrying a tray filled with various rare Treasures.
There were brown agates, large Luminous Pearls that sparkled, extremely rare white jade corals, exquisitely crafted Ten Thousand Flower Cauldrons, and more.
"Third Prince is truly thoughtful; attendants, please show them to their seats."
After Ouyang Chen took his seat, he stared directly at the Little One and asked, "This prince has long heard that the Empress is a fairy reincarnated. I originally thought the Empress would have three heads and six arms! I did not expect you to be just like us. May I ask if the Empress could demonstrate some of your fairy skills to broaden our horizons?"
"Third Prince, that is merely a rumor. I am not any fairy reincarnated and do not possess any fairy skills. Moreover, you mentioned that you have only heard about it," Luo Bingbing replied calmly and assertively.
At this moment, Luo Bingbing's Itchy Powder had already taken effect. Although Ouyang Chen was trying hard to endure it, he still felt an unbearable itch all over his body and struggled to control himself. However, he felt embarrassed to excuse himself in front of Dongfang Hao.
Soon after, the envoy from the Golden Sun Kingdom, the foremost among the Four Great Empires, entered. Leading them was Murong Shang, the current crown prince of the Golden Sun Kingdom.
He had long hair that reached his waist tied back in a bundle and casually draped behind him. His brows were sharp and elegant; beneath those sword-like brows were deep-set eyes that shimmered with ocean blue amidst their dark depths—cold enough to freeze everything yet beautiful enough to captivate anyone who gazed upon him.
Beneath his high nose were rosy lips that slightly parted, presenting an exquisite beauty that could topple nations.
Dressed in a long robe of Moonflower White, he appeared like a celestial being from the moon, exuding an air of exquisite coldness. As his gaze swept across the room, an otherworldly chill froze everything in place.
This coldness was not the same as Dongfang Hao's cruelty; it was an absolute chill, a detachment that suggested nothing in the world could capture his interest.
The aura of coldness emanating from him made people admire his stunning appearance while simultaneously feeling too intimidated to harbor any inappropriate thoughts.
As soon as he entered, Luo Bingbing felt the temperature in the hall drop sharply and sensed a powerful presence emanating from him, rivaling that of Dongfang Hao.
Luo Bingbing had always been generous with her attention towards strong individuals. Thus, after locking her gaze on Murong Shang below, she began to observe him closely.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her waist, prompting Luo Bingbing to turn her head.
She saw Dongfang Hao beside her, looking down with his fingers pinching her waist, his face shrouded in a layer of coldness.
Is he jealous?
Just as Luo Bingbing was pondering this, Dongfang Hao leaned slightly closer and whispered in her ear, "Is he more handsome than me?"
Without thinking, Luo Bingbing softly replied, "You both look about the same; each has their own merits."
After hearing her response, Dongfang Hao felt an inexplicable surge of anger. He leaned closer to Little One and slowly said, "Little One, don't forget that you are already my Empress."
"Are you warning me? However, my eyes are my own; I can look at whoever I want. What does it have to do with you?" Luo Bingbing retorted in a voice only they could hear.
After giving Little One a glare, Dongfang Hao prepared to lean down and speak to her again. However, before he could say anything, a chilling voice rang out from below.
"It seems that the Silver Moon Emperor and Empress have a very good relationship!"
Upon hearing his voice, Dongfang Hao couldn't help but think, "Damn it, how could I forget about Murong Shang below?"
Luo Bingbing's lips curled into a playful smile, while Murong Shang's piercing gaze was fixed on the Little One, his cold eyes revealing an understanding of everything.
He couldn't help but think, "This Little Doll is truly extraordinary; no wonder even Siyue couldn't find out where she disappeared to during those two years."
The dark eyes met the deep blue ones, calm yet insightful.
The blue eyes scanned the Little One's face and then locked onto Dongfang Hao's unfathomable gaze, instantly sparking a fierce energy between them.
As their gazes crossed in the air, there was both excitement from encountering a strong opponent and a sense of mutual recognition. However, it was destined that they could never become good friends.
"Your Highness is here to celebrate for me; I am truly honored. Attendants, please take your seats."
After Murong Shang sat down, he slightly raised his hand, and his subordinates immediately presented the gifts he had brought to Dongfang Hao one by one.
The items he presented were better than those from Hao Tian and Mo Han, and all were in pairs—none were singular—truly a feast for the eyes.
Subsequently, some envoys from the surrounding vassal states of Silver Moon Kingdom came to present their congratulatory gifts. However, what they offered could not compare to the earlier three great empires; after all, they were merely small nations.
Once all the envoys had delivered their gifts, evening approached.
Dongfang Hao then addressed everyone, "I am very pleased that you all could come to Silver Moon Kingdom to attend my enthronement ceremony. I have prepared a grand banquet at Day Palace; I invite you all to move there."
Following this, everyone left Golden Throne Hall and headed to Day Palace in Silver Moon Kingdom Palace.
After Dongfang Hao carried Luo Bingbing out of Golden Throne Hall, he took her directly back to her Phoenix Palace and had the maid change her celebratory attire into a set of light purple palace garments.
As the palace maid styled her hair, Dongfang Hao quickly returned to his chambers to remove his ceremonial attire and change into a deep blue dragon robe.
After changing, he hurried to Phoenix Palace to fetch the Little One.
The hall was filled with splendor, resplendent in gold and brilliance.
The dazzling starlight illuminated the joyous Silver Moon Palace, making everything shine even brighter, with a radiant glow. At this moment, Day Palace was bustling with activity.
In addition to the main hall, the side halls and neighboring side halls were packed with people, and the sounds of laughter and chatter rose and fell continuously.
The side hall was occupied by the concubines of the harem, while the neighboring side hall was filled with ministers and their wives and children.
Not only were the concubines dressed in their finest attire, but also the daughters of the ministers, all eager to seize this rare opportunity.
Needless to say, the main hall was occupied by Emperor Empress, Empress Dowager, princesses, as well as envoys from various countries and nobles.
Before long, envoys from various nations arrived one after another at the main hall of Day Palace. However, Prince Haotian, who had been secretly dosed with Itchy Powder by Luo Bingbing, did not make an appearance.
At that moment, he was in the palace arranged for him by Dongfang Hao, constantly scratching himself and completely oblivious to the need to attend the banquet.
