Chapter 20: The Wedding (3)
Next to the market in Luoyang City, a group of people are looking curiously around a newly posted notice. Literate people are reading aloud what is written on it.
"I offer an edict, the twenty-second day of this month is an auspicious day, choose the day of the eldest son of the emperor and the third son of the emperor, when the capital will celebrate for three days, each household has a reward, there is a lion performance at night, and the whole world celebrates..."
The two "old" princes who are already in their twenties are finally getting married, and the onlookers are all cheering and overjoyed when they hear that there is a reward.
"Wait, don't make any noise! there's more!" the man who read the notice scolded in dissatisfaction, and the surroundings fell silent.
"There is also a decree of the queen: Heaven is always good, and filial piety is the first... In the future, if there is a mourning, if the woman has an unmarried person, there is no need to hold a mourning vigil, and the marriage will continue as usual. ”
A farmer with a hoe shook his head and expressed everyone's confusion: "It's really strange, this prince's wedding is a great joyous event, how can there be red and white things mixed with things?"
The onlookers nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but secretly guess in their hearts, what does the prince's marriage have to do with this decree?
As they exchanged words, a carriage sped through the street and headed straight for the palace.
"Alright, now that everything is done, let's go back and prepare for our marriage. Finally passed the emperor's pass, and Zhi Ze's face looked extremely relaxed.
"I really didn't expect the queen mother to help us so much, I really don't know how to thank her. "I snuggled in Zhize's arms, and the carriage was a little bumpy because of the speed.
"You don't have to worry about this, I will remember her favor in the future. Zhize stared at the road ahead and said with emotion: "Xiaoxiao, we finally survived!"
yes, I finally survived. Thinking of the past years, I can't help but sigh with emotion: "I used to memorize words all the time, and I bumped into any troubles, I was going to give up, but I didn't expect God to make me happy this time." ”
"Zhize," while being happy, I don't know why, I always have a faint worry in my heart: "Why do you say that the queen mother helped me, is it really as simple as she said?"
Zhi Ze's body trembled suddenly, and he said slowly for a while: "I'm afraid only God knows..."
Was it because Empress Xiao was kind, or was it because she had other plans? This question has been bothering me for the next few days, and although the marriage news is imminent, I still feel a little uneasy about this point.
Could it be that she wanted to estranged the emperor and Zhi Ze and separate their relationship? But this idea was immediately vetoed by me, how smart the emperor and the courtiers were, if the queen really had this idea, it was impossible not to notice it. After all, her son is the second prince, and if he speaks a little lightly, he may attract suspicion. And it seems that she didn't say anything bad about Zhize in front of the emperor. I really don't understand.
A cold wind blew, and only then did he realize that he had unconsciously walked to the back of the palace. Under the high walls, what appeared in front of me was the Huan Wash Bureau of the palace, and the open space in front of a row of slightly simple bungalows was full of clothes to dry. It's time to break now, and there's no one in the Wash.
"Ouch!" just stretched and was about to go back, not wanting to turn around and actually bump into someone.
"Ahh The mother forgives the sin, and the slave deserves death!" After the comer stood firm, he saw that it was me, and he couldn't help but be shocked, fell to his knees, and begged for forgiveness.
When I looked closely, it turned out to be a maid in the palace.
"Xiaohui, what's the matter, what are you doing in a hurry?" Seeing her trembling look, he didn't want to scare her.
This girl was holding a wooden box in her hand, and it seemed that she was in a hurry just now, and she didn't take me, a big living person, in her eyes.
Xiao Hui couldn't say one, two, three, four, so I stepped forward to open the lid to see what was in the wooden box.
"Ahh
As everyone knows, her dodge only aroused my curiosity even more, and I deliberately put on a serious face: "What, do you want to rebel?"
This trick really worked like Sun Wukong's tight spell, and after listening to my words, Xiaohui was like a frosted eggplant, her head drooped, and her mouth said: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare." "I didn't dare to hide the wooden box behind me anymore.
"That's right. With a triumphant smile, I leaned down and gently lifted the lid of the wooden box, Xiaohui's face was now pale, what was hidden inside?
With the opening of the wooden lid, a burst of rich fragrance came to my face, and I couldn't help but praise the fragrance. It turned out to be a few freshly cooked meals. No wonder I was in such a hurry, I was worried that the food would be cold.
"Xiaohui, who are these meals for?" Curiosity couldn't help but increase a little more, Zhi Ze is now busy decorating the new house in front, it stands to reason that no one in this palace should be able to enjoy such treatment.
