Chapter 821: grand ceremony

  Chapter 821 Grand Ceremony

Today's Kremlin Palace is still as solemn and solemn outside as before.

What is special is that it is not open to tourists today, and it is forbidden for idlers to enter and exit. It is said that there are some important activities inside.

The central location of the K Palace, the Cathedral of the Annunciation, has long been repainted, with snow-white outer walls and golden domes.

A long red carpet was laid outside the church, directly into the church hall.

On both sides of the red carpet stood two rows of guards of honor in red dresses and high gilt red top hats.

This kind of guard of honor is very rare. It is not the kind of guard in the military parade, nor is it the kind of guard when Puding took the oath of office in the Kremlin. Instead, it is a bit like the guard in the palace of Tsarist Russia.

I have to say that for today's ceremony, the Kremlin side also put in some thought.

The guard of honor with this kind of dress will neither appear presumptuous nor lose majesty and grandeur.

Highlights a festive!

Because Rosiana and Mikhail's current identities are not simple, coupled with the complicated relationship and exchange of interests behind them, today's engagement ceremony is particularly important.

Through this engagement ceremony, all parties have appeals and are showing some attitudes.

It is not an easy task to satisfy all parties.

It is estimated that Gobrev will lose all his hair in the past week or so...

...

Wang Ye’s convoy has a “privilege” today. It can drive directly in front of the Cathedral of the Annunciation, and then walk the red carpet into the church hall.

Today's ceremony has two procedures.

The first process will be relatively short, that is, Rosiana will inherit the title of Grand Duke.

This can be regarded as the official announcement of the "return" of the Romanov family.

Immediately after that is the engagement ceremony of the two, which is the highlight of today!

During the first process, Rosiana was the protagonist, and Wang Ye was just watching the ceremony.

On the surface, it seems that Rosiana is the "centre" of the day, because she is throughout.

But in fact, everyone knows that if there is no Mikhail, if it is not because Mikhail is the object of Rosiana's engagement, not to mention whether today's ceremony will be so grand, or even It's not good to say...

When Wang Ye's motorcade arrived at the small square in front of the church, he saw that many guests had already arrived.

Basically all the people who came here knew each other, and there were only a small number of people in such a small circle. The number of people was not too large, and a total of a hundred people were invited from both sides.

I heard from Rosiana last night that the British royal family, Spanish royal family, and Danish royal family all readily accepted the invitation of the Romanov family and sent quite important representatives to attend the ceremony.

Like the British royal family, they sent Prince Charles, who is the first in line of succession, and the role commonly known as the "Prince" can be described as a heavyweight.

The other royal families also sent the role of first-ranking grassroots. It can be seen that they did not look down on the "relative" of the Romanov family who suddenly appeared.

Of course, it is also possible that they knew that the Romanov family was about to usher in a "sister-in-law by riding the dragon", so they intended to make friends.

...

When Wang Ye's convoy stopped, the people outside the church looked over in unison.

They are all old acquaintances, everyone knows that today's "righteous master" has arrived!

Sure enough, the car door opened, and Wang Ye bent down and jumped down.

Immediately, a few old friends rushed up to welcome them, including Shao Yigu and Korokoli.

Shao Yigu took the first step, hugged Wang Ye vigorously, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Misha, today is your big happy event! I will make up for you later."

Korokoli also had a smile on his face, "Sure enough, you and Rosiana are still together. I told Shao Yigu a long time ago that you two are a good match. But I didn't expect that Rosiana turned out to be from the Romanov family. The descendant of the prince is still the Grand Duke! Then the two of you are a better match, haha."

With a shy smile on Wang Ye's face, he responded: "Her family identity has only been known in the past few days, but it is not important, after all, the Romanov Dynasty has long passed, and now it is just a false name." .”

He was chatting outside with some old friends when Gobrev hurried out from the church.

"Misha, hurry up and go in, the title succession ceremony is about to begin, I'm waiting for you!"

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his right arm, signaling Wang Ye to walk on the red carpet.

Wang Ye tidied up his clothes and walked onto the red carpet. The guards of honor on both sides made a "swish" and all raised their wooden rifles with their chins raised high.

Walking on the red carpet at a leisurely pace, Wang Ye felt a little delicate in his heart.

There are not too many people in the arena today, but the "all attention" and the slow sense of ceremony are also a little exciting...

Except for Wang Ye who walked in on the red carpet, everyone else entered the church hall through the side door.

...

This church looks small from the outside, but the hall is also very empty, and the interior decoration is also very distinctive.

Highlights a resplendent!

Everywhere you look, it's all glittering gold...

The decorations and murals on the walls are all gold-plated on the outside, and the chandelier above the head is also shining with gold. I don’t know if it is made of pure gold.

Even the gates are golden from top to bottom, probably covered with a layer of gold leaf...

Under the light, it is really a bit dazzling.

After walking in, Wang Ye found that almost everyone was there.

Pudin, Patriarch, Gryzlov, Konstantin, Khovchenko, Rosiana, etc., all stood in front of a small stage in the deepest part of the hall.

The small stage also covered with a red carpet should be the place where the ceremony was held. Behind the stage was a red curtain with a golden double-headed eagle emblem embroidered on it!

Seeing Wang Ye coming in, Rosiana quickly waved her hand, motioning for him to walk over.

Wang Ye came to her quickly, greeted the elders next to her, turned his head to look at Rosiana, and said with a smile: "You are very beautiful today!"

This is not Wang Ye's flattery, it is indeed his sincere words.

Today's Rosiana looks completely different from usual!

Her dress today should be the royal dress style of Tsarist Russia.

His head was rolled up, a thick and long braid was combed, a snow-white mink shawl was draped over his shoulders, and he was wearing a grand floor-sweeping dress!

Diamond jewelry is hung on the ears, neck, and chest, and it is not the small carat jewelry worn by ordinary people. It is full of large diamonds spliced ​​together, which can blind people's eyes...

This kind of jewelry is usually not worn out, because it is too eye-catching and too expensive!

But on this occasion, it is very suitable. It is probably one of the dowries that the Romanov family gave to Rosiana as a dowry...

...

The chief patriarch is an old man in his seventies. He also wears a solemn robe, a tall pointed hat on his head, and a very kind face.

He was discussing something with Pu Ding in a low voice. When he saw Wang Ye just now, he just smiled and nodded without saying anything.

Konstantin was standing on the other side, talking with a few people. According to Rosiana, the people over there were "relatives" of his family.

That is, representatives of the royal families of other European countries.

But there is no time for Wang Ye to get to know them, because the ceremony will start soon.

This is the "site" of the Patriarch, so he took the lead on the small stage and waved to everyone.

The hall immediately fell silent. Everyone looked at the Patriarch and listened to his speech.

"Dear guests, we are here today for a celebration.

That is the engagement of Mikhail and Rosiana.

But before they get engaged, let us witness the ceremony of Rosiana inheriting the Grand Duke of the Romanov family..."

Wang Ye squeezed Rosiana's arm encouragingly, motioning her to go up.

Rosiana lifted her skirt slightly, took small steps, and stepped onto the small stage.

The atmosphere in the hall was very solemn, everyone kept quiet and stared ahead.

The Patriarch waved his hand to one side, and immediately three people filed onto the small stage and stood beside the Patriarch.

These three people each held a large tray with both hands, and the tray was covered with a black velvet cloth. They didn't know what was inside.

The Great Patriarch had a smile on his face, and said loudly:

"The things inside used to belong to the Romanov family, and after your family disappeared, they were collected in a museum in the Kremlin Palace.

Since your family has reappeared now, it's time to return the property to its original owner. "

As he spoke, he lifted the first tray, revealing the contents inside.

When they saw the things on the tray, many people in the audience subconsciously exclaimed.

Even Wang Ye's eyes widened because there was a crown in the tray!

The whole body is a crown made of big diamonds!

On top of this diamond crown stands a huge ruby...

This thing can no longer be measured by money, because it is a symbol of imperial power!

The patriarch lifted the cover of the second tray, and the things inside were not as eye-catching as the diamond crown.

This is a dark golden "little stick" with a cross shape at the top, and three crystal clear sapphires on the three relatively short heads.

It doesn't seem too conspicuous.

But those who really know its value understand the value of this thing.

After seeing these two things, many people already have the answer in their hearts about what the third thing is.

Sure enough, when the patriarch lifted the cover of the third tray, what appeared in front of everyone was a golden "egg"...

...

The Patriarch held the diamond crown in both hands and stood in front of Rosiana.

No need for him to speak, Rosiana hastily bent slightly and lowered her head.

The patriarch put the diamond crown on Rosiana's head, then brought the golden scepter and golden egg, and handed them to Rosiana.

Then he backed away slowly, giving Rosiana the entire stage.

Because this moment belongs to Rosiana!

Wearing a crown, a golden egg in the left hand, and a scepter in the right...

This is the "standard configuration" when the emperor ascended the throne in Tsarist Russia!

At this moment, Rosiana seems to have "coincided" with a woman from her ancestors, that is, Ekaterina the Great!

When Catherine the Great came to the throne, she was just like Rosiana today.

They are all so beautiful and moving, dazzling!

Wang Ye stood under the stage, looking at Rosiana on the stage, a little lost in thought.

All the guests under the stage bowed slightly to express their respect and congratulations to Grand Duke Rosiana.

No matter what some people think in their hearts, the superficial etiquette is still indispensable...

Rosiana was standing on the stage with a scepter and a golden egg in her hand, seeing so many top figures below, all bowing to her in congratulations at this moment, she didn't know what it was like for a while.

The crown on the top of her head is very "heavy", and it weighs heavily, making her neck a little uncomfortable.

But obviously she doesn't care about this anymore.

I just feel some subtle things, like energy, slowly pouring into my body...

In the audience, Constantine whispered to Wang Ye: "This is the dowry I prepared for Rosiana, are you satisfied?"

Wang Ye is speechless...

What a joke!

These three things are not things that can be measured by money!

It can only be said to be too expensive...

I don’t know how much the old fox Konstantin paid to “get” these three things back from the Kremlin!

However, these three things are more meaningful than practical, and can only be regarded as family heirlooms. They are of little use in ordinary times, and it is even more impossible to realize them...

If you dare to sell this thing, it will probably spread all over the world soon...

………

After the ceremony, the patriarch, Puding, and Gryzlov joined hands on the stage, and stood next to Rosiana.

With a bright smile on his face, Putin said loudly: "Next, let us witness the engagement of Deputy Speaker Mikhail and Grand Duke Rosiana. Before the ceremony begins, I would like to ask if anyone Object? If there is no objection at this time, the ceremony will officially begin!"

Naturally, no one raised objections in the audience.

Just kidding, making trouble on such an occasion, it really feels like I live too comfortably...

After all, today is just an engagement ceremony, not a real marriage, so the process is relatively simple.

After Puding finished speaking briefly, the Patriarch and Gryzlov said a few words of blessing respectively.

Then, the "parents" of both sides, that is, Konstantin and Khovchenko, were invited to speak on stage.

The two of them didn't say much, but simply wished Rosiana and Wang Ye happiness in the future.

Next, it's Wang Ye's turn to take the stage!

With one step, Wang Ye stepped onto the small stage and came in front of Rosiana.

Knelt down on one knee, looked up at Rosiana affectionately, took her left hand, and kissed her first.

Then he took out a ring from his pocket and put it on her finger.

Looking down at Wang Ye's actions, Rosiana wept with joy.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not because the engagement ring Wang Ye gave her is too beautiful…

Although this ring is really amazing!

This is a nearly 20-carat pink diamond, shining with a charming pink color. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the real "pigeon egg"!

For this ring, Wang Ye entrusted Ms. He to find it all over the world.

The rough diamond weighs 50 carats. In order to achieve the ultimate color and quality, as much as two-thirds of the rough diamond is lost during the cutting process.

Cost up to $30 million...

Wang Ye was not a stingy person. For his fiancée, and it was such a grand occasion, he certainly would not let her lose face.

Rosiana slightly pulled Wang Ye up, and then handed him the scepter in her hand...
