Chapter 303 Sauvignon Blanc 60
On the day of the enthronement ceremony, Ling Xi was pulled out of bed early.
She took a bath, changed into a dress under her maid's clothes, and then put on a suitable makeup, not too heavy, but enough to maximize her aura.
Hao Ling attaches great importance to etiquette, so there are many kinds of rituals. For example, the etiquette of today's enthronement ceremony is too numerous to count.
If there was any mistake in etiquette, then she would lose her title as princess and prince, and Hao Ling would also lose all face.
But Ling Xi was born in Haoling, so he was naturally familiar with those etiquettes.
After everything was packed up, Yiying and Xie Shuhui stood beside her, looking at her appearance, and marveled: "Wang Ji will definitely shock everyone today."
Yiying and Shuhui will serve as Ling Xi's personal maids today and will always be by her side. This will also let everyone in Dahuang realize that the two of them will be Ling Xi's important ministers after she takes power in the future.
Ling Xi tilted her head: "As long as everything goes well, it's fine. Besides, they don't need to show their shock at me today, because I have always been shocking them."
Yiying and Shuhui looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Yiying teased, "Wang Ji is really shameless."
Although she said this, she couldn't hide the smile on her face no matter what, and she was full of confidence in Ling Xi.
Having been a study partner for so many years, Fangfeng Yiying has witnessed many incredible things about Ling Xi. She and Shuhui have accompanied His Highness all the way.
After leaving the Xihe Palace, there was a team of soldiers in silver armor holding swords leading the way in front. They looked majestic and imposing.
Then came a group of guards holding the ceremonial procession, and then a group of maids, each holding a flower basket in their hands.
In the middle is Ling Xi's cloud sedan chair. With the help of several maids, Ling Xi got on the cloud sedan chair, accompanied by Yiying and Shuhui.
After that, it was the same maids, guards, and soldiers.
The group of people walked towards the altar in a mighty procession.
Ling Xi sat in the cloud sedan chair, feeling very calm, as if this day was just an ordinary one to her, rather than an exciting enthronement ceremony.
The cloud sedan chair arrived at the altar, and several maids helped Ling Xi down in an orderly manner, and then quickly arranged the dress for Ling Xi.
In front of the altar, the guards and maids stayed behind, while the soldiers led the way. Yiying and Shuhui looked solemn, standing on Ling Xi's left and right.
The entire altar is built with white jade, with a total of ninety-nine steps. It is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. It stands majestically, looking solemn and dignified.
On both sides of the steps were elite soldiers in full armor standing solemnly around the altar, which immediately made people feel admiration and awe.
All the guests were dressed in formal attire and sat on the viewing stand, looking quietly towards the altar.
At this time, the red sun was rising, the bells were ringing, and the light was brilliant.
The three girls slowly walked up to the altar.
Two of the girls stopped shortly after stepping onto the altar and stood upright on both sides of the altar, while the other girl continued to move forward.
Everyone present stared at the girl in gorgeous clothes, and they couldn't help but feel dazed.
The moon-white dress embroidered with gold thread sparkled in the sun, and the red embellishments added a touch of color. The phoenix embroidered with gold thread on the dress was lifelike, as if it was about to spread its wings and soar into the sky.
The girl in gorgeous clothes was stunningly beautiful, but what everyone noticed most at this moment was not her appearance, but her calm and noble temperament that looked down on everything.
The girl had an indifferent expression and a calm gaze. Her pair of black eyes were cold and deep, like a deep pool, unfathomable and bottomless.
King Hao Ling stood right in front with a faint smile on his face, looking at his daughter who was walking slowly towards him with satisfaction.
Concubine Jing'an, Anian and Rushou were sitting at the side below, all looking at Ling Xi with smiles on their faces.
Ah Nian was so excited that she almost couldn't hold back her emotions and screamed, but fortunately she was stopped by Rushou in time. Concubine Jing'an's eyes were red. As Ling Xi's mother, although they kept many things from her, she still knew how hard and difficult Ling Xi's journey had been. Her journey was not easy.
In the stands, Chishui Fenglong, Chenrong Xinyue, Xuanxuan, Xiaoyao, and Tushanjing stood at the front, and they looked at Ling Xi with different emotions.
Chishui Fenglong and Chenrong Xinyue were naturally extremely happy.
There was a hint of envy in Xiaoyao's eyes. She envied such a passionate life, but she also knew that she did not have the mind and ambition of Axi, and might even be inferior to her in means.
Xuan looked at Ling Xi from afar. His mood was very complicated. He had not yet become the heir of Xiyan and was already far behind Ling Xi.
Xiangliu Station was relatively hidden, but Ling Xi could see it as soon as he raised his eyes.
At this moment, he was looking at Ling Xi intently, with no one else in his eyes, and his eyes were incredibly gentle.
That was the little girl he had known since childhood, and now she had to officially take on the responsibility of a country.
The relationship between them was never as simple as liking each other. He understood her ambitions and she understood his responsibilities, so they never asked anything of each other.
As long as they have each other in their hearts, that's enough.
Ling Xi walked up to King Hao Ling and kowtowed to him.
King Hao Ling looked at Ling Xi with pride in his eyes. This was his daughter, his bloodline. From today on, she would be the young master of Hao Ling, and later on, she would become the king of Hao Ling, and even the king of the entire Great Wilderness.
King Hao Ling took Ling Xi to worship the heaven and earth first, and then worship Hao Ling's ancestors in the clan ceremony prayer.
When Ling Xi was worshiping heaven and earth, two phoenixes suddenly appeared in the sky and circled above the altar. The loud and ethereal sound of the phoenixes resounded throughout the sky and reached everyone's ears.
The sky is covered with colorful clouds, dazzling, beautiful and spectacular.
The clouds were billowing, and the sky was filled with bright rays of light. Brilliant golden light lit up the entire sky and fell on Ling Xi who was standing on the altar.
In an instant, it was as if a compassionate goddess had come to the world, out of this world and beyond compare.
This sudden scene was seen by everyone in the Five Gods Mountain, and even the people of Haoling Capital had a glimpse of it.
The people on the observation deck began to talk, but they didn't dare to speak too loudly. They could only speak to each other in a low voice, which did not hinder the continuation of the ceremony.
I don't know how many etiquettes I had to go through. Even Ling Xi, who remembered the etiquette very well, had become numb to performing them.
Finally, King Hao Ling took off Ling Xi's hairpin and put a crown that was slightly smaller than King Hao Ling's crown on Ling Xi's head. The crown was dazzling, solemn and elegant.
Feeling the crown being put on, Ling Xi's face became serious.
This is the symbol of Lord Haoling. The crown is not heavy, but the meaning it represents is more important than anything else.
This crown bears the responsibility for the millions of people in Haoling and even the Great Wilderness.
The voice of King Hao Ling, wrapped in spiritual power, was heard from far away: "My beloved daughter Xi, from now on, you will be the young master of Hao Ling. I hope you will follow the way of governing the country, nurture the people, work hard and love the people. From now on, Hao Ling will prosper and enjoy peace forever."
Ling Xi bowed again: "I will obey my father's order."
When Ling Xi's body was almost stiff from being straight, the enthronement ceremony finally ended.
The strange phenomenon in the sky continued until the end of the ceremony.
After the ceremony, the guests left the altar one by one, led by the maids.
However, today's enthronement ceremony is destined to spread throughout the entire wilderness.
