Chapter 6 Chapter 5: Prosperous Splendid Celebration Ceremony

On the second day, under the imperial decree, it was beyond everyone's expectation. The wedding between General Jingyan and Princess Chenhua was held as scheduled. General Jingyan was temporarily unable to return home due to the border war, so he ordered his younger brother Qiu Yiyao to marry him instead.In addition, the Princess Chenhua was named "Princess Chenhua", and she came out as a princess. The moment they received the order, everyone had different expressions. It is unprecedented for a royal daughter to marry on her behalf, but the prince's daughter, Princess Feng, is a testament to the prosperity of the royal family.So relevant and irrelevant people have complicated feelings.But no matter what's on everyone's mind, one thing is certain: nothing will change about this wedding.

In Weiyuanhou's mansion, Weiyuanhou burned the letter he had written overnight urging his son to go home and get married, and wrote another one.After finishing writing, I began to sigh.Seeing this, Mrs. Gu was puzzled, and said that although the marriage on behalf of Ying had never happened, the fact that the princess was conferred the title of princess was a testament to His Majesty's favor, and this was even more joyful for the Houfu and his son. Marquis Weiyuan said: "The princess is certainly more honorable than the princess, but the princess is marrying, but the princess is surrendering. When the princess enters the mansion, the whole family will be a generation shorter. At that time... how can marrying a daughter-in-law do it?" Parent-in-law, but to be a brother, sister-in-law and nephew for the princess! Are you also very happy about this?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu thought that she would have to salute her daughter-in-law when she saw her in the future, so she was "difficult" to be happy. On the other hand, Qiu Yiyao persuaded her, saying, "The princess should not be the kind of person who sticks to etiquette and does not understand human feelings. After the princess enters the mansion, she is a family. The family is naturally close and harmonious, so how can they 'press each other with power'?" .” After hearing this, Weiyuanhou and his wife thought that the daughter raised by Prince Anyu's mansion should have good character, so they felt at ease.

"Master Chenhua, oh no, there is no doubt that the princess is deeply loved by His Majesty. Let's just treat her as the emperor's daughter from now on." Marquis Weiyuan said this last sentence as a reference for the future Marquis. Effective standards. Since she came down as a princess, it was time to build a princess mansion, but seeing that the wedding was approaching, it was too late, but fortunately, this marriage was arranged early. When the wedding was first planned two years ago, because of the As the princess, he couldn't act poorly, so Marquis Weiyuan bought all the houses around the Hou's mansion, expanded the mansion, and built a new courtyard in the mansion as a new house.The courtyard took up almost half of the Hou's mansion, with pavilions and corridors leaning against each other and connecting with pavilions, pink paint and gold decorations, carved railings and jade brickwork, it is extremely magnificent, so it is not a wronged princess.In addition, the emperor ordered the Taiyi Mansion to prepare the princess's dowry, which was completely doubled according to the princess's ritual system. That kind of honor was enough to make up for all the shortcomings, and everyone in the entire imperial capital was looking forward to this wedding.

Marquis Weiyuan has two concubines besides his wife Gu Shi and Lu Shi. These two concubines were not married by Marquis Weiyuan greedily, but his wife Gu Shi took them in.After the feudal marquis bestowed the mansion back then, many relatives and villagers came to cling to him, and those who gave up money and belongings were dismissed one by one, but the Qi family and the Lu family did not leave. Relatives, it is said that there are no relatives in their hometown, and there will be no duckweed to rely on when they go back. They are willing to stay in the Hou Mansion as a slave and handmaid, in order to depend on them.Seeing that both of them were seventeen or eighteen years old, with delicate features and delicate words, they were very pitiful, so they stayed behind.After the two stayed in the mansion, they were indeed diligent and good-natured, and everyone in the mansion liked them.

At that time, Marquis Weiyuan was in the prime of his life, tall and rugged, and he had made great military exploits and was extremely heroic.Qi's and Lu's are just at the age when their youth and emotions are germinating. They have been in the mansion for a long time, and they can't help but secretly feel affection for such a hero. I admired what happened, and thought that I hadn't moved since I gave birth to my eldest son, and I only had two sons, Yiting and Yiyao, who were really weak, so I asked my husband to take them as concubines.Marquis Weiyuan didn't object to this matter, nor was he very happy. His mind was more focused on the soldiers on the school field or the enemies on the frontier.

However, the Qi family and the Lu family have not been able to add anything to the Hou Mansion for many years.They all had children before, but Qi's had a miscarriage, and Lu's died within a few days of giving birth, and there was nothing else to be born after that, which made Gu's pity and disappointment.Later, after consulting Mrs. Gu, the two each picked a child from distant relatives to keep by their side, so as to comfort the loneliness under their knees. Marquis Weiyuan didn't feel sorry for the lack of heirs, because whenever he mentioned his two sons, he always looked contented, "With these two sons, what more can I ask for?"

The eldest son, Qiu Yiting, is his pride, he is his successor, and even his future achievements will surpass his own.And to have such a son is better than thousands of others. The second son, Qiu Yiyao, filled him with love, because his filial piety, thoughtfulness, care and gentleness made him truly appreciate the family warmth of a strict father, a loving mother, and a filial son, compared to the eldest son who made him proud but was not around for many years, It is this time that the husband and wife can enjoy family happiness. Qiu Yiting, the chief son of the Hou's mansion, is second to none among the young masters of Guijie in the imperial capital. Everyone in the imperial capital knows it. When he mentioned it, everyone praised him full of praise, wishing that he belonged to his family.But when it comes to Qiu Yiyao, the second son of the Hou Mansion, few people in the imperial capital know about it. Occasionally, those who know about it are always half admiring and half sighing when they mention it.

Appreciate his extraordinary intelligence, appreciate his extraordinary handsomeness, appreciate his gentle character, and appreciate his noble demeanor.What is sighing is that he was born as a general in the Marquis's Mansion, but he has no intention of official career, and he does not think about fame and fame. He wasted the background and talent that others can only cultivate in a few lifetimes.Every day, he is not reading idle books and practicing folk art, studying medical scriptures and medical books, or playing chess with monks from Baitan Temple, tasting tea with Taoist priests from Haoyang Temple, and often riding horses to Xiaowai to see mountains and rivers. Looking at the clouds and plum blossoms, one stays for a whole day or a few days.

At the beginning, Weiyuanhou and his wife also tried to persuade him, but he said: "It is enough to have an elder brother in the family, so it would be better for me to stay with my parents and be a filial piety." If you are weak, if you really want to become an official, it will be useless to work hard for him, so you won't force him anymore. Marquis Weiyuan's mansion has already made all the preparations for the wedding, but Prince Anyu's mansion has nothing to prepare, because everything in the palace has already been prepared.Therefore, Prince Anyu's Mansion is no different from the past, and the Snow Collection Garden is even more calm as water.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and time flies by. In a blink of an eye, September 9th, the Double Ninth Festival, is full of chrysanthemums. That night, Princess Anyu ordered Qiaoshan and Lingyu to prepare wine and refreshments in the garden, and then called Qingling and Kong Zhao, and the five of them enjoyed flowers and wine in the garden, and enjoyed tea with the moon. have fun.In the middle of the night, Princess Anyu ordered Qiaoshan, Lingyu, and Kong Zhao to go to rest first, and she and Qingling slowly sipped tea among the flowers and admired the moon.The three of Qiaoshan thought to themselves, maybe because the princess is about to get married, the princess is a little bit reluctant, and wants the mother and daughter to get along more.So the three of them retreated to rest. After the three of them left, the mother and daughter chatted casually for a few more words, and then slowly calmed down. A round of autumn moon hangs high in the sky, the jade sky is like a clear sky, and the clear scenery is infinite. The silver glow spreads like frost all over the day and the ground, the cool evening wind blows, and the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers fall like rain, and the stars are dotted with yellow stars, lingering and dancing with fragrance.The mother and daughter are sitting leaning against the railing, their figures are elegant, and thousands of chrysanthemums of various colors are clustered together in the moonlight, which makes the two look more beautiful than the flowers, and the Qinghua of the frosty moon seeps between the brows. It will feel too cold and lonely, but they feel warm and quiet. After a long time, Princess An Yu said softly: "Ling'er, you will get married in a few days." There was reluctance, feeling, and a hint of relief and expectation in her tone. Qingling glanced sideways at her mother, her lips moved slightly, but in the end she just turned her head and let out a soft "um". "Ling'er not happy?" Princess An Yu turned her head to look at her daughter. Qingling thought for a while, shook her head, and said: "I don't know." After a moment's pause, she said again: "My daughter thought this marriage would be postponed, but who knows..." There was another pause, and then she turned her head to look Looking at her mother, "Seeing that the wedding day is getting closer, but my daughter really doesn't know how to feel. I can't say I am happy or unhappy. It seems... It seems that I know what I should do, so I finish it." it." Princess Anyu sighed slightly when she heard the words, and looked at her daughter lovingly, "It's not your fault, you've never seen Qiuyi Pavilion before, so naturally it's hard to be happy at this moment." Qing Ling's heart moved when she heard the words, and she couldn't help thinking about her childhood, wondering if that counted. "Ling'er, the greatest blessing in a woman's life is to marry a man she likes." Princess Anyu said again, "Although Qiuyi Tingniang has never seen it, Marquis Weiyuan has. He is indeed a majestic man. A son raised by someone who is a good person is definitely not bad. Besides, Qiu Yiting has been famous since he was a child, and he is a rare talent with both civil and military skills. He... and His Majesty personally selected him for you, so he is naturally the best person. " Qingling looked at her mother silently, the moonlight shone like a layer of silver veil on her body, as beautiful as a goddess in the moon. "Mother, how did you feel when you got married?" Princess An Yu was stunned, the moonlight melted into her eyes, like a pool of autumn lake, her dream-like gaze passed through layers of chrysanthemums, and fell far away.After a long time, she said softly: "Back then, Mother was eagerly looking forward to the wedding date. She just wanted to marry him as soon as possible, and only wanted to become his wife as soon as possible." Qingling couldn't help being surprised when she heard the words.For more than ten years, father and mother have been on ice and fire, hating each other, but they never thought that mother would have such a state of mind back then.Then the mother must have been very happy with the father? Seeing the surprise and doubt in her daughter's eyes, Princess An Yu just shook her head lightly and said nothing.His eyes moved to the distance again. Although his face was calm, there was a lot of bitterness and sadness in the corners of his brows and eyes. Qing Ling, who was peeping from the side, suddenly felt sour, and many questions sprang up immediately. ,only…… As if feeling her daughter's gaze, Princess An Yu raised her hand on the table and clenched it into a fist between her eyebrows, closing her eyes, as if she was suppressing her emotions.After a while, she said in a hoarse voice: "Ling'er, mother knows that you have a lot of things to ask mother these years, and also knows that you have suffered a lot of grievances these years, and mother also knows that it will... finally hurt you, But...but..." His voice was choked up, and it was difficult to speak. "Mother, what's the matter with you?" Seeing her mother so involuntarily, Qingling panicked. In all these years, she had never seen her so sad except when she was severely injured when she was whipped for the first time. The sad mother, but she didn't know how to comfort her, hesitated for a while, and stretched out her hand to gently hold her mother's hand as she was when she was a child, and said: "Mother, my daughter doesn't feel wronged, how can mother hurt her daughter? Actually My daughter often thinks that, compared to the poorly clothed and hungry people mentioned in the book, she must be very lucky to have a father and a mother.” "It's in the book...it's in the book..." Princess An Yu murmured, looking up at her daughter, looking at the helpless expression on her face, she suddenly let out a heartbroken sob, and couldn't hold back the tears. "Ling'er, it's my mother who's sorry for you for causing you to be trapped in a corner for eighteen years. You have never stepped out of the house, never seen the outside world, and never had contact with the outside world, so everything can only be read from the book. ..."How can life be full of vicissitudes in the world only from books!Mother is always sorry for you! Seeing her mother crying, Qingling couldn't help but panicked even more, so she could only repeat: "Mother, don't be sad. Mother, don't cry." Looking at the tears on her mother's face, she reached out to wipe it away, not wanting to leave any tears for playing the piano. However, the long nails on her mother's face drew a red mark on her mother's face. Looking at the nail mark, Qingling was dumbfounded and dared not stretch out her hand any more. Feel bad, so you really don't feel bad." Princess An Yu raised her hand to caress her eyes, as if she didn't dare to face her daughter. Yes, her daughter is very smart. No matter what she is taught, she can teach her everything. She can recite a hundred poems at a young age. She is also good at chess and rhythm. She also understands the art of war and Tong Qimen... She understands things that many people in this world don't understand, and she has a pair of eyes that can see through things that many people in this world can't see through, but... But in some aspects, she How ignorant and ignorant! There is no need to worry about food and clothing in Jixue Garden, but how can people live without worry just because they have no worries about food and clothing. I don't want my daughter to repeat the tragedies of the past, and I think that if she doesn't meet outsiders and get troubled by the outside world, she can live a safe life... But... Could it be that she was really wrong back then? "Mother, let me play the piano for you." Seeing her mother crying, Qingling thought of playing a song for her, so that she might be able to relieve her feelings a little.After finishing speaking, he took the guqin that was put aside, concentrated his attention for a while, and swipe his fingers lightly, the clear and beautiful sound of the qin filled the garden in an instant. Gentle as if afraid of startling the first blooming flowers, as if accompanied by the swaying spirit of the full moon, then high-pitched like a boat breaking through the waves, and then low as the gentle and graceful wind caressing the flowers, and then turn again And lingering like a lover? The words turn and turn a thousand times, and for a while, the bright sun hangs high and shines for thousands of miles, as if you are in a field of flowers and countless flower fairies sing and dance around... The sound of Lingling piano is elegant and free from dust, like seeing green water and green mountains, like lamenting the falling flowers and rain, like smiling with affection in the spring breeze, like happy snow and the first sunshine... Princess Anyu listened infatuatedly and intoxicated. wave. After a long time, Princess Anyu woke up quietly, looked at her daughter in shock, and asked, "What song is this, Ling'er? Mother has never heard of it." "Mother, the title of this song is "Qing Ling Yue"." ""Qinglingyue"?" Princess Anyu murmured and repeated, then remembered that she had never taught her daughter this song, and couldn't help being very puzzled, "Where did Ling'er learn this song?" Qingling smiled slightly, and immediately told the story of finding the silk book from the piano.After finishing speaking, she got up from the pavilion and said, "Mother, let me show you my daughter's achievements over the years." As soon as the voice fell, the figure leaped lightly, and the person was like a flying bird. In the blink of an eye, he landed on a two-foot-tall laurel tree next to the pavilion. Concubine Yu was shocked and bewildered. She lightly tapped her toes on the osmanthus tree, and she jumped a few feet higher. She turned around in mid-air, as dexterous as a swallow, and heard her chuckle again, with her arms stretched out, her wide sleeves stretched and hanging down, like a person. Standing still among the clouds, in the blink of an eye, she has fallen to the ground lightly and gracefully like a goddess. "Mother, this is the 'lightness skill' mentioned in the silk script, which makes people feel like they are flying." Qingling walked back to the pavilion, seeing that her mother was still in a daze, she reached out for a wine glass and flicked it casually, "Boom!" The glass was embedded in the pillar of the pavilion with a sound, but the body of the glass was intact.Then she held the jug in her hand, and poured a glass of wine. The wine poured out of the jug exuded steaming heat, and the strong aroma of wine immediately filled the pavilion. Hold the wine glass and send it to the mother. "Mother, please drink this cup." Princess An Yu stretched out her hand to pick it up in a daze, but her hand was cold. When she looked at it, she realized that the wine in the glass had frozen into ice!She moved her eyes to the porcelain cup on the pillar of the pavilion, Qingling raised her hand, and the cup flew out of the pillar and landed in her hand, intact, leaving only a deep cup mark on the pillar of the pavilion. There was a moment of silence in the pavilion, Qingling looked at her mother, Princess Anyu's blank eyes seemed to be looking at her, and seemed to pass through her and fall far away. After being silent for a while, Princess An Yu put down the ice wine in her hand, raised her head, her expression calmed down, and said: "It turns out that Ling'er has learned a whole body of martial arts." "So mother knows it's martial arts." Qingling didn't expect her mother to accept it so calmly. "Of course Mother knows." Princess An Yu smiled, "Back then, Mother also saw it with her own eyes... I have seen some people wielding swords and swords, and their kung fu is even more powerful than Ling'er." "Oh?" Qing Ling heard the words and doubts arose in her heart again, but her mother would definitely not answer and give up.Seeing that the mother was no longer sad, she secretly rejoiced, and said: "When I got the silk book back then, my daughter wanted to tell her mother, but then... Later, my daughter thought, I don't know if it is true or not, why don't we talk about it after practicing. If it doesn’t work out, it’s nothing to do, and if it does, let mother know, she will be pleasantly surprised.” As she spoke, she looked up at her mother, revealing a hint of delicacy, “Mother, are you happy?” "Happy." Princess An Yu nodded and smiled, "Ling'er has such martial arts, mother is not only happy, but also very relieved. From now on..." He reached out to touch his daughter's temples, his eyes were full of love and pity, "Mother in the future Just really rest assured." Qingling breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to hold her mother's hand, a little nostalgic.Since she was born, although her mother loves her, she seldom shows it. Her mother always lives in her own world, mostly Aunt Qiao and Aunt Ling take care of her, and the mother and daughter rarely have conversations like this one tonight.She will be leaving in a few days, and she will see her mother even less, so getting along with her like this is probably very rare.For a time, the calm state of mind also gave birth to a lot of parting, a lot of reluctance and regret. "Ling'er, you married into the Marquis Mansion as a princess, and you have martial arts, so no one will be able to bully you. It's just that you have never had contact with the outside world, and you have never gotten along with outsiders. You don't know how to deal with the world... The days are long, and you have to learn how to behave in the world." Princess An Yu pulled her daughter and sat down beside her. "Yeah." Qingling nodded. Princess An Yu caressed her daughter and looked at each other for a long time, her heart was full of affection and reluctance, when her eyes fell on that flawless face, her hands trembled suddenly, and her heart suddenly sighed deeply.This is another face that is so beautiful that it can cause disaster. "Mother." Qingling noticed her mother's trembling, and couldn't help saying, "The wind in autumn night is too cold, why don't you go back." "Yes." Princess Anyu agreed, stood up hand in hand with her daughter, stepped out of the gazebo, raised her head, the bright moon was in the sky, and the night was as cool as water. She stopped and looked up at the bright moon and sparse stars in the sky. After a long while, she said quietly: "Ling'er , the Qiu family is already a dignitary in the dynasty, it is a blessing for you to marry into the Hou's family. If you marry into an ordinary family, it will cause disaster." "Oh?" Qingling was a little puzzled. Princess Anyu looked back at her daughter, and said with a slight smile, "Silly boy, have you never looked in the mirror to see what you look like?" "It looks the same as Kong Zhao, there is nothing missing." Qingling replied, suddenly remembered something and said, "Two fingers are missing than her, and everything else is the same." "Puchi!" Princess An Yu couldn't help but shook her head helplessly when she heard the words, and walked back. The mother and daughter walked hand in hand under the moon, with the cool breeze blowing on their faces and the fragrance of flowers, they felt extremely quiet and warm. This part of the way back to the room was the first time that Qingling and her mother walked hand in hand. The warmth of that night made her remember for a long time. Looking back many years later, it was the only time in her life. Qingling sent her mother back to the room first. In front of the door, Princess Anyu suddenly turned around, sighed softly and said: "Ling'er, your father...don't blame him in the future. Although he treats you Yes...but you can't blame him entirely." Hearing this, Qingling was very surprised. It was the first time in so many years that she heard her mother take the initiative to mention her father, and it was still... such a tone. She couldn't help it for a while, and blurted out: "Mother, you and father... ..." But as soon as she opened her mouth, Princess An Yu raised her hand to stop her from asking. In the hazy moonlight, those autumn eyes were full of infinite sadness and fatigue. "Ling'er, don't ask. Mother will tell you everything one day, and that day will not be too far away." After speaking, she pushed the door open and entered, then closed the door tightly. Qing Ling stood outside the door, stood there for a moment, then turned and left. That night, she failed to pursue the question to the end. And when one day, all the doubts are clear, but it is in exchange for unforgettable grief. September 18, good luck, suitable for marriage. Qing Lingyin got up in time, Kong Zhao waited for her to wash, and told the people in the palace who came to greet her had been waiting outside the door for less than half an hour. Open the door, under a solitary lamp, there is a female official and a servant standing there, both around thirty years old, and they all salute when they see her come out. "My servant waits to pay my respects to the princess, congratulations to the princess! The chariot is already waiting outside the mansion, and I invite the princess to enter the palace at an auspicious time." "Free." Qingling raised her hand to help. "Thank you princess." The two stood up, and the lady officer put a golden round hat decorated with dragons and phoenixes on her head. The brim of the hat hung down to the chin and covered her face with a red scarf. This was to prevent outsiders from seeing the true nature of the bride before the groom. Tolerance, as the saying goes "cover happiness". Seeing that she had put on her hat, the servant turned around and waved her hand, and moved the soft sedan to the front. The female officer helped her into the sedan, and then lowered the curtain of the sedan. There was darkness in the soft sedan, and Qingling only felt the body of the sedan sway slightly, and then moved forward smoothly, and heard the sound of Qi Zha's footsteps along the way, but no one spoke, it seemed that about two quarters of an hour passed, and the sedan fell , the female official stepped forward and opened the sedan chair curtain, "Princess, please get off the sedan chair." Qingling got out of the sedan chair, looked through the veil, and saw a complete stranger in front of her eyes, there were countless lights, shining brightly like daytime, she looked around, only seeing many figures. "Princess, please board the chariot." The female officer led her. Qingling moved with her, and suddenly stopped, the female officer couldn't help but stop and look at her, but she saw her looking sideways to the front left, following her gaze, there was... Qingling let go of the female officer's hand, walked a few steps forward to the left, but stopped suddenly.Looking at the person standing on the steps ahead through the veil, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad for a moment.There, King Anyu stood side by side with the concubine, watching her from a distance, behind him were Qing, Cheng, and Yu led by Ping Yong, Ping Hong, Ping Xi, Ping Ting, Ping Qin and a group of palace attendants.That was the most harmonious time for the family of Prince Anyu's Mansion, and it was also the first time Qingling saw her parents standing side by side.Her eyes were suddenly sour, as if there was water vapor in her eyes. Looking up, she saw the four graceful characters of "Anyu Prince's Mansion". It turns out... this is the gate of the palace, which she had dreamed of but never stepped out of in the past 18 years. ! "Princess, don't miss the auspicious time, please board the chariot." The female officer urged in a low voice. Qingling took one last look at the Wangfu and her parents, then turned and boarded the seven-phoenix jade chariot.The door is closed, the wheels are rolling, and the car is moving forward. Arrive at the gate of the palace at four quarters of Yin time, get off the chariot and change to a shoulder chariot, and walk through the palaces. Arrive at the Pure Vegetarian Palace at 6:00 Yinshi. The vegan palace was brightly lit, and the entire hall was full of servants and palace servants.When the female official took off the wedding hat for Qing Ling, everyone in the first palace held their breath, and the room was silent, even the female official and the servants who went to greet her were also stunned on the spot.Previously, the lights in the palace were dim and I couldn't see clearly, but now that the lights are shining, I was shocked to realize that the face of this Princess Chenhua is as bright as a bright moon and more beautiful than flowers! "Where's Kong Zhao?" Qingling looked around, there were strangers, but Kong Zhao who was always inseparable. This question also made the people in Yigong wake up and come back to their senses. "Back to the princess, Miss Kong Zhao is temporarily staying outside the palace." The female officer stepped forward and replied, "When the princess is in the palace, she will be served by servants and maidservants. The servant Fang Jia, His Majesty refers to Princess Jia Lingyi, and this Mu Yi, His Majesty refers to as Princess Neidichen." He pointed to the servant on the left side of the princess who went to the palace to greet him, "The servants and servants and the two hundred palace people in this palace are all dowry by the princess, and they will serve the Marquis' mansion." Qingling glanced across the crowds in the hall, frowned slightly imperceptibly, but then said: "Everyone get up." "Thank you princess." Everyone in the hall got up. "Princess, you need to pay homage to your ancestors, please let your servants dress and make up for you." Fang Jia led Qingling into the inner hall. In the inner hall, auspicious clothes, phoenix crowns, and jewelry have long been prepared, and the jewels are dazzling. First comb a complicated dragon and phoenix concentric bun, and then clean the face with makeup and makeup. After the makeup is completed, change into a purple inlaid gold auspicious suit, and finally wear the seven phoenix Asahi crown.In front of the phoenix crown hung three layers of bead curtains, which not only blocked the bride's view of the outside world, but also blocked all outside sights who wanted to see the bride's true face. It was already Maoshi when the makeup was completed, and the left and right palace people helped Qingling to worship the ancestors in the Taiwu Hall. This is the "Biezong". At the third quarter of Maoshi, I went to the Chunxiao Hall to worship my parents. This is "farewell to relatives". In the Hall of Pure Filial Piety, Prince Anyu and his wife sat upright, accepting their daughter's farewell gift.Compared to other parents who were happy and sad at this moment, King Anyu and his wife seemed too calm and indifferent, making everyone in the palace puzzled and secretly guessing. At six o'clock when I went to the Longzhang Hall to worship the emperor and queen, this is "Biejun". At Chen Shi, the Hall of Fengyi salutes. On that day, the morning sun was just blooming, and the dawn breeze was cool. Qiu Yiyao is dressed in purple inlaid silver auspicious clothes, wearing a purple tasseled hat, carrying a gold whip, leisurely wearing in the bustling cotton embroidery, like the wind passing by the moon, the rich and noble palace, and the bright and beautiful palace people suddenly become a pale and plain background.Walking from Taihuamen to Fengyi Hall, countless guards, palace servants, and internal servants looked at him in amazement along the way. The servants came back to their senses after walking far away, and then they all thought: If this person It's the groom... Many years later, whenever a princess in the palace gets married, someone will think of that man who looks like the morning breeze and the dawn moon. In Fengyi Hall, both the emperor and the empress are seated, the royal relatives are on the left, and the officials are on the right. When the Taiyin says "Auspicious time has arrived", festive music is played, and the palace servants and servants lead the newcomers into the palace. Countless gazes Qiqi transfer notes. When they saw the man in luxurious and auspicious clothes but still graceful and elegant walking slowly step by step, everyone's eyes lit up, and then seeing the princess walking side by side, although she couldn't see her real face, but she was elegant and charming, her heart was originally All the pimples about the matter of "welcoming on behalf of others" disappeared at once. Looking at such a pair of Bi people, he only felt pleasing to the eye and had no other thoughts.Even the emperor on the jade throne was secretly surprised at the excellence of the second son of the Marquis Mansion, and the queen said in a very thin voice: "Judging by his appearance, this second son is worthy of an 'immortal character'. It's perfect." Can't help retorting in a low voice: "That's because you have never seen the eldest son." The queen smiled and said nothing. I pray to heaven and earth. The second worships the emperor. Husband and wife worship each other. Witnessed by the empress of the current dynasty and the princes of the Manchu dynasty, the two married with three ceremonies. "Gold and jade meet!" Following Taiyin's loud call, Qiu Yiyao, under the guidance of the palace servants, handed the golden whip in his hand to the opposite princess. In the resplendent and resplendent Fengyi Palace, he suddenly realized for a moment.The other end of the golden whip was held by a white and slender hand with five pointed fingers. That was his first impression of Qingling.At that time, he thought, this is a hand that can play the piano very well. After the ceremony, there is a banquet. The moment he got up, the emperor's eyes seemed to fall to the left side inadvertently. Across thousands of people, after tens of years, he saw her with the same beauty as before.She bowed her head slightly to thank him.He nodded lightly, and stepped down from the jade seat with his eyes closed. The short rendezvous was silently concealed under the joy, only King An Yu's eyes were like frost and snow. The emperor led the princes, officials and banquets in the Hall of Harmony, and the empress led concubines and wives to celebrate the banquet in the Qinghua Palace.Qiu Yiyao used a golden whip to lead Qingling to first go to the Hall of Harmony to be congratulated by all the officials, to give thanks and toast to the officials, and then to Qinghua Palace to be congratulated by the ladies and to toast to all the ladies. In the royal feast, the delicacies are precious, the wine is like a jewel, and the palace has silk and bamboo curling like the sound of nature. In front of the palace, there are palace people singing and dancing slowly. At four o'clock, the princess left the palace in Yijia. On that day, the imperial capital was empty for thousands of people, and the people of the imperial capital will always remember the grand ceremony of that day. The princess' chariot with seven phoenixes came out slowly from the Taihua Gate. The young master of the Qiu family rode a bay red horse in front, surrounded by countless attendants and guards. The eyes are full of gold and jade. It is really rich and noble, prosperous and prosperous. Princess Shen Shiyi drove to Weiyuanhou's mansion, and Hefu picked her up. At four quarters of the day, the princess was seated to receive the ceremony. In the time of You, the Hou's mansion entertained guests. At Xushi, the princess entered the cabinet. Haishi, bin scattered. At this point, the one-day wedding is truly over. In the new house, all the maids serve Qing Ling to remove her makeup. The phoenix crown was taken off first, and the eyes hidden under the bead curtain were finally able to see clearly. In front of him was a bronze mirror of human height, under the glazed palace lamp, it was almost invisible.A beautifully dressed woman was reflected in the bronze mirror. She stood gracefully, but her eyes were a little blank. It was not until several figures appeared in the mirror that she suddenly realized that this was herself. This is getting married and marrying as a wife? Watching the hairpin rings on his head being removed one by one, the auspicious clothes on his body being untied layer by layer, and the burdens all over his body were gradually reduced.When all the drape was removed, Qingling breathed a sigh of relief, turned her eyes to look at the wedding dress, phoenix crown, and jewelry placed next to her, and thought to herself that she would never use it again. "Princess, are you hungry? I made something delicious for you." The door opened, and Kong Zhao stepped in with a smile on his face. Seeing Kong Zhao, Qingling finally showed her first faint smile of the day. "I'm hungry, I haven't eaten anything all day." "Is there no food in the palace? Your Majesty is so stingy?" Kong Zhao couldn't help but blinked his big maroon eyes when he heard the words. "Kong Zhao must not be unreasonable." Fang Jia on the side scolded her, turned around and smiled at Qingling, "Princess, all married couples come here like this. There are many gifts, guests and drinks on this day of great joy, but there is nothing to eat. Something." Then he said to the maids who were changing clothes for Qingling: "You should move faster." Kong Zhao stuck out his tongue, and then asked, "Did Fang Lingyi do the same back then?" Fang Jia smiled, shook her head and replied to Kong Zhao: "I entered the palace when I was ten years old, if it wasn't for this princess's big wedding that His Majesty referred to as Jia Lingyi, I would probably be in the palace all my life, how could I get married. I just served two princesses to get married, so I know a little bit." "Oh." Kong Zhao responded, and then asked, "Why didn't Fang Lingyi get married?" The Fang Lingyi in front of her looked like she was in her thirties, but she was handsome and decent, so why didn't she get married? As soon as Fang Jia asked this question, Qing Ling frowned before Fang Jia answered, "Kong Zhao, go make a pot of tea." "Okay." Hearing this, Kong Zhao immediately went to make tea. Seeing that she had changed her clothes, Qingling moved to the table and said, "Kong Zhao doesn't know the palace system, so I made Yimo blame her for slipping her tongue." "Princess is worrying too much, how can this servant know that she has no intention of speaking." Fang Jia followed her to the table, opened the food box Kong Zhao brought for her, and a burst of fragrance wafted into her nostrils, and she couldn't help praising, "Kong Zhao is good at cooking. " "Fang Lingyi has worked hard all day, but is he hungry? Why don't you use it together." Qingling sat down and said. "Don't dare, slaves and maidservants have other meals." Fang Jia put the food in the food box on the table one by one. "You have also been tired this day, so go to dinner." "Yes, take it easy, princess." Fang Jia retreated with all the maids. After a while, Kong Zhao came back with the teapot in hand. Seeing that Qingling was eating, he poured a cup of tea and asked curiously, "Princess, are you happy to get married today?" Qingling recalled the hustle and bustle of the day, and shook her head, "It's too tiring." "Oh." Kong Zhao was not surprised when he heard it, and said again, "I arrived at the Hou's Mansion early this morning with the dowry from the Prince's Mansion, but the princess didn't arrive. I had nothing to do and no one cared, so I just walked around. Going, I found that this Hou's mansion is almost as big as our palace, but there are not as many people in the mansion. But in the evening, the number of people suddenly increased, and many men and women came. They came from the palace, and then most of them entered the garden. I wondered, didn’t the people in the garden mansion say that it was built for the princess? Why did they all come? Later, I asked a sister, she said They are all the princess's people, and they will serve the princess in the future. Princess, don't you have me to serve you, why do you need so many people?" Kong Zhao stared at Qingling, with some worries in his eyes, as if he was afraid that the princess would let others snatched. "Let Fang Lingyi tell you tomorrow." Qingling dismissed it with one sentence. "Oh." Kong Zhao nodded obediently, couldn't stay still for a while, and said, "There are many guests in the mansion at night, and I haven't seen you for a whole day, so I wanted to find you. I got lost while walking. I don't know where I went, but I turned to a rockery and saw the son-in-law... Ah, it's the second son, the second son-in-law of the Qiu family who brought the princess back instead of the son-in-law." Kong Zhao's eyes were shining, and he looked at Qingling excitedly, "Princess, that second young master is really good-looking. He seems to have been drunk too much, his face was red, and he coughed from time to time. He saw me Just ask me who I am and why I am here? I told him. He told me that as long as I wait in this garden, I can see the princess and show me the way. So I went back to the garden, but left After a while, the second son stopped me again, asked me to bring some hot food to the princess, and told me how to get to the kitchen. I went to the kitchen and saw that the food was almost cold, so I made some by myself. Only then did I realize that you are really hungry, princess." Qingling couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard this, but this second young master is a very careful person. Maybe she was too hungry, Qing Ling couldn't eat after a little bit, the master and servant chatted for a while, Fang Jia led someone to bring in the bath bucket and hot water, and helped her to take a bath and wash up. After finishing, he helped her go to bed and went to bed, and finally retreated to rest with Kong Zhao and others. The festive noise of the day ended in silence at night.
