Chapter 43: Zhao Xun

On the second day, when it was midnight, the official of the Ministry of Rites came to the house with a guard of honor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

I knelt there and listened to the famous official read clearly: "Xiao Wangfu's concubine Qu Shi, endowed with gentleness, sensitive, dignified, specially entered the famous seal, and was promoted to Xiao Wang Shengyao Zhaoxun ......." ”

When King Xiao heard this, he gave me a meaningful look.

My heart trembled slightly, and I heard the official say again: "Give the gold pancreatic box in pairs, the silver rouge box in pairs, the gold dot emerald red and white agate osmanthus red jasper hall rich bonsai pairs, the red carved lacquer Taiping has a pair of elephant gluttonous rice bowls, a bronze banana leaf flower goose, and a fat jade carved fish dragon." ”

Ichthyosaur carvings, it is really appropriate for the occasion, I silently thought: Yan Shigu Note: "The ichthyosaurus, for the beast of relics, first play in the court, Bi Nai enters the palace before the water, turns into a flounder, jumps in the water, makes a fog barrier day, Bi, turns into a yellow dragon, out of the water Ao plays in the court, dazzling the sun." ”?

However, I can't help but think sadly, whether the fish turns into a dragon or the dragon turns into a fish and then turns into a dragon. After all, it's just the changes in the world and the ups and downs of life.

However, from today onwards, my current identity as Qu Wanlian is no longer a maid who has been sold and trampled on, but Xiao Wang Zhaoxun Qu's Xiaoguan.

It was as if a new door to illusion had opened up before my eyes, and the fog inside the door was so thick that I couldn't see whether the road ahead was full of thorns, but I could only faintly smell the fragrance of flowers and hear laughter, tempting me to move forward. I can't continue to stand outside the door, and I can't be an outsider.

After the ceremony, King Xiao helped me to get up, stared at me with a serious expression, and his eyes became more and more dark and deep. I didn't dare to look at it more, smiled lightly, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Lord Xie." ”

When the official finished his errand, he smiled and said to me: "Congratulations to the prince! Congratulations to Qu Zhaoxun! The lower official wishes the two of them a deep and meaningful relationship, and the melon is long." ”

When King Xiao heard this, he was in a good mood, "Borrow Yuan Shilang's auspicious words." Please also leave a cup to eat the king's wedding wine. The squire smiled and bowed in thanks.

King Xiao took my hand tightly with a satisfied look and led me to the hall. Ruan Liangdi was half a step behind King Xiao and me, and the other concubines in the palace were all standing on both sides, and after the three of us slowly passed, they followed us sideways and went to the main courtyard together.

The east flower hall of the main courtyard has arranged a banquet, and the stage has been set up on the side of the pear pavilion, and King Xiao instructed the stewards to invite two troupes yesterday to prepare for a lively and lively music all day.

I wore a Zhaoxun dress and walked steadily forward with King Xiao's steps. His face was calm, his eyes were calm, but his thoughts were tumbling in his heart: If Manfu hadn't been convicted three years ago, if it was Brother Changruo who held my hand, what would it be like?

Thinking of Changruo's name, there was a slight pain in my heart.

Just thinking about it, King Xiao suddenly tightened my hand, and it turned out that he had already arrived at the East Flower Hall.

King Xiao motioned for me to sit with him, and I couldn't help but hesitate when I saw that Ruan Liangdi's seat was also at the bottom. King Xiao bowed his head and whispered in my ear, "This king likes you by my side." Between the opening and closing of his lips, the breath hit his ears and itched, and he immediately started to burn.

According to what he said, he sat beside him, so he had to stop looking at Ruan Liangdi for the time being. But I still felt Ruan Liangdi's direction, and from time to time there were two eyes that wanted to be on me. The beauties sitting at the bottom also had their own thoughts and quietly looked at each other. I couldn't help but smile bitterly. With the background of the maid of the princess's mansion, it is indeed not easy to control these women. After today, I am afraid that open guns and hidden arrows are indispensable.

However, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

The matter has come to this point, blindly giving in is not beautiful, but it has lost its downhill state.

With that in mind, I straightened my back.

Opposite the flower hall, the performance started on the pear sound pavilion.

I just listened to the play, and the deacon and the official in the palace arrived. It turned out to be at the behest of the queen.

The official announced the queen's message, and smiled very kindly: "The queen said, Xiao Wangfu is a beautiful woman today, and she should abide by women's virtues, help the prince, and extend the heirs." ”

I say yes by courtesy.

King Xiao twisted the internal official with a hippie smile at this time, "Young Eunuch Guo, did the queen mother only send a sentence?"

Young Eunuch Guo thought that he was an old man in the queen's palace, and he was very familiar with King Xiao, so he also said happily at this time: "Yes, there is." As he spoke, he pouted at the four small chamberlains who were following him.

Several chamberlains were holding a rosewood box with luodian in their hands. "It's all for Qu Zhaoxun, and the prince is not allowed to rob it. ”

King Xiao glanced at me and said meaningfully, "Well, don't rob it." Everyone has arrived. ”

Guo Shao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, and he looked relieved.

But I was so ashamed that I half-hid my face with my sleeve. Fortunately, no one else was nearby, only Madame Sumire was closer, and she also laughed with King Xiao and them.

sent Chifu to place the queen's reward, and instructed her: "Zhan Lu should still be placing the things sent by the Ministry of Rites, and the queen should ask Zhan Lu more about these rewards." ”

Chifu took the order and left.

I met with Young Eunuch Guo and invited him to the table. The old eunuch smiled and thanked him angrily, saying that he had to go back to the queen as soon as possible, and then left.

King Xiao was sent out of the door, and when he looked back at me with a smile, he knew that I was disgusted that he had just spoken disrespectfully in front of Young Eunuch Guo, and the smile on his face was even more flying, "I have welcomed you into King Xiao's Mansion from the princess's mansion before, and now I have the order of my father and the queen mother." received the dowry from the Ministry of Rites, canonized Zhaoxun, and was equivalent to a folk marriage, how is it not the king's person. ”

He spoke very well and was serious, and I couldn't hold on to it, otherwise it would be more like laughing wantonly in front of everyone.

I had to purse my lips and follow him back to the East Flower Hall.

sat down with tea, and looked at the stage of the pear pavilion opposite, the woman to be married in the play was tactfully coquettish: "Embroidered shoes like mandarin ducks playing in the water." Mandarin ducks, one to fly, one to swim, not too small, not too big. Mandarin ducks should be five-colored, the color line is clear and clear, and the tips of the shoes are not embroidered, beware of walking grinding. The photo needs to be painted, lined with a red lotus, the lotus core with gold thread, and the lotus petal with cinnabar. ”

It turned out to be "Suolin Bag". Xue Xiangling was able to pay attention to a pair of embroidered shoes before getting married to this point, such a woman is loved and protected very well-just like herself back then.

Just now, King Xiao said that the canonization of Zhaoxun is a wedding ceremony for me.

These words can't help but make me think, today's Xiao Wangfu is so lively, but he has long since lost the state of mind in the boudoir. In the eyes of others, Qu Xiaoguan, who was sitting next to King Xiao, was young and young, bright and smart, and knew that my heart was like a broken wisteria, the rain and the wind blew, and it fell into mud.

In my ears was the lyrics of Xue Xiangling: 'The person in the sedan chair must have a grudge, she burst into tears, her voice was interrupted, like a cuckoo, crying in the courtyard, touching the heartstrings,...... At that time, there were no less than a million slaves,...... There are gold beads and treasures that are brilliant, red coral and jadeite, and there are strings of pearls in the night, as well as the red gold lian, purple hairpins, white jade rings, double phoenix chisels, eight treasures hairpins, each treasure pregnant light contains ......"

If you don't listen to it, it's enough, and when you suddenly listen to such a song, it's almost difficult to hold on.

King Xiao saw that I looked lonely, so he beckoned Liuli over, and was about to say something, but saw Xiao Dezi trotting all the way over, bowed down and said: "Lord, Princess Yongjia's Mansion and the Deputy Envoy of Tai Hospital's Sheng Mansion have sent their housekeeper's mother over to send congratulatory gifts." ”
