Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 941

Chapter 941: Chapter 937: Coronation Ceremony

"Eldest Young Lady?" Bai Qingyu, not noticing anything within the alley, gently called out to Bai Qingyan.

"Let’s go back..." Bai Qingyan spoke.

Bai Qingyan bent down and sat in the carriage; Bai Qingjue, Fu Ruoxi, and Xie Yuchang mounted their horses with the imperial guards.

Sitting inside the carriage, Bai Qingyan closed her aching eyes, unsure if the glimpse of A Yu just now was a figment of her exhaustion or reality.

Bai Qingjue and Fu Ruoxi, along with Xie Yuchang, led the guards forward, and only then did Bai Qingyan’s carriage begin to move slowly.

She remembered that fleeting glance and, not willing to give up, raised her hand to lift the carriage curtain, gripping it tightly.

The man dressed as a Rong, wearing a mask, stood at the mouth of the alley under the bright moonlight. It was clearly... her brother A Yu.

A wave of bitterness hit her eyes. She watched A Yu’s figure move farther away, her vision blurred by tears.

Clearly, this was the closest they had been as siblings, yet they could only gaze at each other from afar, unable to meet or recognize each other.

Only when A Yu’s figure disappeared did she release the curtain... She sat in the carriage with closed eyes, suppressing her emotions, unwilling to let her family see her tears upon returning to the Bai Mansion.

Her mind was filled with the spirited figure of A Yu when he set out, and his confident smile when he promised to bring her the most beautiful pigeon blood stone.

It’s wonderful... A Yu is still alive, A Yu... has returned!

Yet she still hoped that the edict she proclaimed to the world could bring more members of the Bai family back, even if... just one more!

The road from the prison to the Bai Mansion was not short... but not long either. By the time Bai Qingyan alighted from the carriage, Chun Tao and Nanny Tong came forward to support her, and her emotions had already settled.

Bai Qingjue personally escorted her back to the Qinghui Courtyard, reminding her, "Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony, Eldest Young Lady must rest well tonight."

Bai Qingyan nodded at the noticeably taller Bai Qingjue, "You too, rest early... There will be much to do tomorrow."

On the twentieth day of June in the first year of Yuanhe, the enthronement ceremony of the Empress of Zhou Kingdom.

Bai Qingyan reviewed memorials all night and, when dawn faintly broke, was roused to change clothes.

Ever since Bai Qingyan set the date for her enthronement on the twentieth of June, the palace had been rushing to prepare her ceremonial robe. The person in charge of the weaving room chased her for a look at the court attire prepared according to the old style of the Jin Dynasty, and Bai Qingyan only instructed... it shouldn’t be overly lavish, leaving the room manager in a panic.

It was Bai Jinse who gave a hint, telling the room manager to think of the Bai family army’s black sail with white python flag, and only then did he realize and hurried back to ramp up production.

But perhaps due to the Jin Dynasty’s notorious extravagance, the room manager cleverly split silver threads into fine lines, twisting four strands of silver with four strands of white thread into a single thread to weave the bright moon on the shoulders of the black robe, entwining gold split thread into the white thread to embroider dragon patterns and sun.
