Chapter 159: In front of you, I will always be myself
Gu Lanzhi was indeed curious about the etiquette of the ancients, but when it was really his turn to kneel, stand up, kneel, Gu Lanzhi began to curse in his heart.
He also quietly turned his head to look at the other ministers. When he saw that there was no strange expression on those ministers' faces, Gu Lanzhi couldn't understand.
They were all wearing such complicated clothes and had so many heavy things hanging on their bodies, so why didn't these court officials feel any inconvenience?
Gu Lanzhi overlooked the fact that he was not an ancient person. The most formal court dress was not something that could be worn on any random day.
The most formal court dress is usually worn when the country holds major celebrations. People do not wear such formal clothes when attending court on ordinary days.
Moreover, in the hearts of the ancients, they had a sense of awe for wearing court robes. Even though court robes were heavy and cumbersome, in their eyes, it was already a kind of belief.
As a modern man, Gu Lanzhi does not understand the importance the ancients attached to celebrations, nor does he quite understand what court robes meant to them.
In modern times, even the most formal clothes are just suits and Mao suits. How can they be compared with court dresses!
Just when Gu Lanzhi's patience was about to reach its limit, Li Beichen finally appeared.
Why does the bright yellow dragon robe look so good on Li Beichen? Why does it look so majestic and solemn?
Gu Lanzhi had also seen Li Beirui when Li Beirui was still the emperor, but there was a world of difference between Li Beirui wearing a dragon robe and Li Beichen wearing a dragon robe.
People have different temperaments, and wearing the same clothes will look very different. There is nothing to say about it.
It's also because Gu Lanzhi has a filter for Li Beichen. No matter how he looks at Li Beichen, he thinks Li Beichen is good in every way. There is no one better than Li Beichen.
Gu Lanzhi's eyes were almost turning into a heart shape.
In the entire hall, only Gu Lanzhi looked up at Li Beichen, while everyone else was kneeling with their heads lowered, unable to look directly at the emperor.
Although Gu Lanzhi was also kneeling, he was the only one who dared to raise his head.
The moment Li Beichen stepped into the hall, his eyes met Gu Lanzhi's.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to kneel as a subject, Li Beichen would have wanted Gu Lanzhi to stand up.
There is no way. Rules are rules and etiquette is etiquette. Even if Li Beichen is the emperor, he cannot make an exception for Gu Lanzhi at this time.
But when Li Beichen walked in front of Gu Lanzhi, he paused for a moment, lowered his head and gave Gu Lanzhi a faint smile.
Gu Lanzhi also curled his lips towards Li Beichen, then lowered his head and knelt down properly.
Doing this kind of trick in front of so many people gave both of them a secret sense of excitement.
Not only the two of them, the audience in the live broadcast room also screamed "Ahhh" because of the little actions of these two people, and they were almost going crazy.
It was also because of Li Beichen that Gu Lanzhi's irritable mood was soothed, and he witnessed Li Beichen's coronation ceremony well.
Not only Li Beichen was exhausted from the coronation ceremony, but the ministers were also exhausted.
When the ceremony was over, all the ministers became dejected.
Gu Lanzhi was originally preparing to leave the palace with the other ministers, but before he could take two steps, an eunuch stopped Gu Lanzhi and whispered to him that the emperor had summoned him.
Even though the ministers were exhausted, they were all alert. When they noticed that Gu Lanzhi was called away by the eunuchs, they began to gather in groups of three or four, guessing why the emperor called Gu Lanzhi away.
In the end, everyone basically came to a conclusion, that is, before the ceremony began, Gu Lanzhi had the Imperial Guards take away those ministers.
Whenever someone was arrested before a grand ceremony, the emperor would always ask what the situation was.
Gu Lanzhi had just returned to the capital. Although he was awarded the title of Marquis Dingguo, he had not made any achievements in the court, nor did he have any alliances, and he had no connection with the former Ninth Prince.
But some older officials with deeper thoughts held different ideas, because Gu Lanzhi could command the Imperial Guards.
A newly enthroned emperor can confidently order a marquis to command the Imperial Guards. It is absolutely impossible to say that these two people have no previous connection.
Perhaps the change of the throne was also the work of this young marquis.
All I can say is that before this, the two of them hid themselves very well and no one discovered that they were in contact.
Of course, these old foxes will not say what they really think. After so many years of being in the court, they are very good at hiding their thoughts.
Gu Lanzhi was brought by the eunuch to Li Beichen's bedroom.
After the eunuch opened the door and let Gu Lanzhi into the bedroom, he left the bedroom and closed the door. Only Gu Lanzhi and Li Beichen were left in the bedroom.
This was the first time that Gu Lanzhi entered the emperor's bedroom. He looked around curiously.
Li Beichen walked out from behind the screen. He had changed out of the dragon robe he wore when he ascended the throne and put on casual clothes.
"Are you here? Are you tired?" Li Beichen walked quickly to Gu Lanzhi and naturally took Gu Lanzhi's hand.
Gu Lanzhi was not polite at all, and fell directly on Li Beichen, saying weakly: "I'm tired! I'm almost dead!
You ancient people are really something, your clothes, ornaments, and hats are all so heavy. "
Li Beichen smiled dotingly, picked up Gu Lanzhi and walked into the house, carefully placed Gu Lanzhi on the couch, picked up the teapot beside him, poured a cup of tea for Gu Lanzhi, and handed it to Gu Lanzhi.
“The coronation ceremony is naturally more solemn, and there is nothing I can do about it.
I have asked someone to prepare clothes for you. You can rest here for a while and there is no need to go back home.
I also sent someone to your house to greet the Madam, and when the dinner is about to start, they can go into the palace on their own."
Gu Lanzhi put down the teacup, and Li Beichen naturally picked up the teapot and poured another cup of tea for Gu Lanzhi.
The coronation ceremony lasted so long that Gu Lanzhi must be thirsty. Li Beichen felt that a cup of tea might not be enough to quench his thirst.
Li Beichen poured tea for Gu Lanzhi, and Gu Lanzhi looked at Li Beichen with a smile and asked, "The coronation ceremony is over. You are the real emperor now. You should call yourself "Zhen". Why are you still talking about me?"
Li Beichen put down the teapot and smiled at Gu Lanzhi, "In front of you, I will always be myself."
Gu Lanzhi and Li Beichen just smiled and looked at each other, no one spoke.
Even though no one spoke, everything was implied. They understood each other's thoughts without any language.
The audience in the live broadcast room captured the moment when the two of them looked at each other in silence, and were waiting for Gu Lanzhi to have time to talk to them, and were preparing to send it to Gu Lanzhi.
All I can say is that the audience in the live broadcast room really understands Gu Lanzhi very well. They know what Gu Lanzhi wants, so they just offer it to him without him saying anything.
