Chapter 143 The Emperor’s Wedding

In the winter of the sixteenth year of Tianbao, after a long and brutal baptism of war, the light of peace finally spread across the earth!

This thrilling and protracted war has lasted for six years and three months. During this period, Ling Zhen and Ling Heqing have been separated for more than six years...

This morning, the sun shone through the windows of the court, casting mottled shadows. Ling Zhenzhen sat upright on the dragon throne, but his mind had already drifted far away.

At this moment, the ministers were urging her to choose a queen as soon as possible, but she didn't seem to care about these things.

Just when Ling Zhen was distracted, a loud shout suddenly broke the silence in the court:

"Report!"

The commander of the Imperial Guards hurriedly ran into the hall, knelt on one knee, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, good news has come from the north. Our army has won a great victory. The remnants of the Persian evil have been completely wiped out. The Ling family army will soon return in triumph!"

Ling Zhen was delighted when he heard this, and quickly changed the subject and asked, "What is the battle situation like? Tell us quickly!"

The commander bowed respectfully and handed over a heavy battle report, which was covered with gunpowder and blood. Ling Zhen stood up impatiently, strode forward, and took the battle report from a distance.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then read carefully. When she saw the last line, she couldn't help laughing:

"Good! Good! Good! Good! Finally...it's finally over!"

At this moment, the joy of victory surged in Ling Zhen's heart, and she almost shed tears. However, she knew that as the ruler of a country, she must not cry in front of her ministers.

So she held back her tears and tried to maintain her dignified image.

……

At the beginning of the seventeenth year of Tianbao, it was the coldest month of winter, and less than ten days before the Spring Festival. Heavy snow was flying all over the sky, and the whole world was covered in silver. However, the cold weather could not stop the passion in people's hearts.

Because today, the hero in their hearts - Ling Heqing will lead the army back in triumph!

After hearing the news, the people of the capital city flocked to the streets and spontaneously came to the city gates, wanting to witness the charm of this "Invincible God" with their own eyes.

Ling Zhen led all the civil and military officials in the court and waited there early, with a solemn and dignified team of officials behind her.

Among the crowd, a middle-aged couple stood out. They were Ling Heqing's parents, Qinghan and Ling Huaici.

As early as half a month ago, they could not wait to rush back to Kyoto, just to see their long-lost son as soon as possible.

It was not until that moment that Qinghan realized that a child could really easily capture a mother's heart.

At this moment, Qing Han held Ling Huaici's hand tightly, her eyes full of anticipation and excitement.

She kept looking into the distance, hoping that the familiar figure would appear in her sight soon.

Finally, a white crane that had fallen from the flock flew in the sky, and the sound of horse hooves came from far away, and then a mighty army appeared in front of everyone.

The leader was Ling Heqing, who was riding a tall horse and wearing armor! He was handsome and powerful, with an imposing manner, like a god of war descending to the earth.

Seeing this scene, the people were immediately excited, and cheers rose one after another, resounding through the sky.

Ling Zhen looked at Ling Heqing with a smile, satisfaction and nostalgia in his eyes; Qing Han and Ling Huaici were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears, they felt extremely proud to have such an outstanding son.

When he got to the front, Ling Heqing turned over and dismounted gracefully. At this moment, Ling Zhen no longer cared about the so-called etiquette between the monarch and his subjects, nor did he care about the rules of gender differences.

She rushed forward like an arrow, and Ling Heqing subconsciously stretched out his arms to catch her as he did before, still speaking in that familiar tone: "I've told you so many times, what if you get hurt by acting so rashly? And now the situation has changed, if something really happens to you, do you want the imperial doctors to be buried with you!"

Ling Zhen was so angry that he hit him hard and scolded him, "It's been six years and three months, Ling Heqing, you really made me wait so long!"

Ling Heqing suppressed the smile on his face, kissed her hair gently, and said softly: "It's all my fault, Your Majesty, please calm down!"

When the people around saw this scene, they all turned their heads away tactfully, not daring to look at it any longer.

As early as when the emperor was still the eldest princess, this prophecy had spread throughout the capital, and even to the surrounding areas.

At that time, people were full of admiration and expectations for the eldest princess because she was not only of noble status, but also of outstanding talent and noble character.

And the boy from the Ling family who matches her is even more handsome, elegant and graceful. The two of them are simply a match made in heaven.

Such a beautiful marriage naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

Whether it was the officialdom or the common people, everyone knew it well - the eldest princess and the boy from the Ling family would get together sooner or later and form a lifelong relationship. This had almost become an open secret, and no one doubted it.

Now, many years later, the prophecy has finally come true. Qing Han is filled with joy as she looks at her healthy son.

She held Ling Huaici's hand tightly and said with a smile, "Let's go! Let's go home and pack up and prepare for a new life!"

After hearing this, although Ling Huaici's face remained calm, his heart was already filled with surging waves.

He thought to himself: "After so many years of waiting, I finally waited for this day! From now on, I will spend the rest of my life with the one I love, and it will be just the two of us in this world~..."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but quicken his pace and leave with his wife.

Ling Mansion.

"What? Next month?" Qing Han stared at Ling Heqing with wide eyes and said in disbelief.

Ling Heqing protected Ling Zhen behind him: "Mother, this is all my decision, it has nothing to do with Ling Zhen. If Ling Zhen's status was not different now, my son actually wanted to get married tomorrow."

Qinghan curled the corners of his mouth, not knowing who this anxiety came from!

Subconsciously glancing at Ling Huaici, and seeing him looking at Ling Heqing with disdain, Qinghan instantly understood.

Qing Han thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I was planning to leave with your father tomorrow, but now it seems like it won't hurt to wait another month."

Ling Heqing and Ling Zhen looked at each other and asked in confusion at the same time: "The war is over, where are you going?"

Qing Han smiled awkwardly. Ling Huaici protected his wife behind him and said, "You have all grown up and are able to take care of yourself. We naturally want to spend our remaining years in retirement."

Ling Heqing, Ling Zhen: ...You are amazing to be able to justify laziness in such a high-sounding way!

Seeing that they were determined to leave, Ling Zhen did not try to persuade them to stay: "Then godmother, uncle must take good care of himself by then. I will go back and write a letter to bring father back from Naliang to preside over our wedding."

After saying that, she looked at Ling Heqing, and he happened to be looking at her.

At this moment, they only have eyes for each other.

The 30th day of the first lunar month is a good day for getting married or moving.

The red carpet stretched from the entrance of the palace to every corner of Chengdu, like a long and gorgeous dragon winding through.

The music resounded through the sky, and the melodious tunes made people happy. The streets were lined with blooming flowers, and the air was filled with rich floral fragrance.

Longan and red dates symbolize good luck and fortune. They are carefully placed in various places, implying that the newlyweds will have a sweet and happy life in the future.

The crowning ceremony was even more solemn and dignified. The emperor wore a gorgeous dragon robe and a golden crown on his head, showing his supreme majesty; the empress wore a dark red python robe and a phoenix crown with swaying pearl curtains on her head, looking handsome and moving.

This grand wedding not only belongs to the emperor and the empress, but is also a grand event for the entire country.

Ling Zhen granted amnesty to the entire nation and showed great favor to many people, which made the people cheer and rejoice, and they all felt the emperor's great grace.

The entire Wangdu City was shrouded in a festive atmosphere, people's faces were filled with happy smiles, and their eyes were full of longing for the future.

At this moment, everything is so beautiful, like a colorful painting. The streets and alleys are decorated with lights and full of joy.

The palace was brightly lit and magnificent. The joy of the newlyweds was passed on to everyone, allowing them to share in the happiness and joy.

At the same time, Qing Han and Ling Huaici had just evacuated from the banquet in the previous second, and embarked on the road of seclusion in the next second.

When Ling Heqing found out, he rushed to the Ling residence, but there was only one letter left, and the letter was extremely perfunctory:

"It's gone, don't miss it."

Ling Heqing glanced at Ling Zhen beside him, and the two of them shrugged speechlessly. They really are a couple!
