I walked out of the palace gate, the silk bamboo bells and drums were endless, the whole palace stretched for dozens of miles of red makeup, and in a trance, there seemed to be red blood flowing along the pillars, sometimes blurred and sometimes clear. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info didn't feel panic at all, and settled down, convinced that it was just a red veil hovering over the pillar and dancing lightly in the wind. The silence of the heart was greater than ever.

Suddenly, a stream of clear sweet and sour hit the cavity sac, and the wind leaned on the agarwood to make people drunk, I couldn't help but stop, and followed the look, there were clusters of small pink flowers blooming in the garden, which made me very surprised: "What kind of tree is this?

As soon as the words fell, the palace people behind him knelt on the ground and said happily in unison: "The minions congratulate the princess!"

Seeing my surprised look, an elderly person beside me, Gong E, said in a pleasant voice: "Princess Qiyu, this is an apricot tree, and most of them only bloom in April and May. It's August Suoqiu, and this tree should have been a pile of dead wood, but it suddenly bloomed so delicately. Slaves in this palace for more than 20 years, never heard of this scene, it is rare, folk often say that dead wood and flowers are a good omen, today the princess is married, presumably the princess will be blessed by the gods!"

It turned out to be apricot blossoms, although this scene is good, but I don't feel any good signs. I didn't dare to think about it, so I immediately reined in my thoughts and left indifferently.

In front of the one hundred and eight steps of the Tiande Palace, I raised my face slightly, stared at the towering hall for a moment, and slowly climbed the steps, on both sides of the steps stood guards and ministers of different ranks.

When I arrived at the front of the hall, the figure outside the temple gate seemed to be a little familiar, and when I got closer, I saw that the person was my grandfather. I saw him come up in three or two steps, and before he could speak, he knelt down in front of him with red eyes, and lowered his voice and said: "Everything is the fault of the old minister! The princess is far away from returning to a secluded country, and she is in a foreign country, and I hope that the princess will take care of herself, and I wish the princess a long life and good health." ”

Seeing this, I quickly put my hands around him and got up, tears began to roll, and a smile still appeared on the corner of my mouth. Seeing that there were palace people all around, he had to persuade in a very low voice: "Hurry up, no matter when and where, the fox seal will always be your grandson, why should your grandfather be polite." Everything has a definite number, and this matter was done voluntarily by Fox Xi, so how can he blame his grandfather?"

Seeing my grandfather so sour, I couldn't bear it. My mother, Shangguan Guiya, is my grandfather's only heir, in other words, although I am a princess, I am also the only bloodline of the Shangguan family, and my grandfather will inevitably blame himself and be so sad.

The ancestors and grandchildren looked at each other and sighed, and the grandfather straightened his voice and said loudly: "The old minister is ordered to welcome the princess of Tianze here!" The king and the envoy of Youguo are in the palace at the moment, and the auspicious time is coming, please follow me into the palace. ”

"There is Lao Hu Guogong!" I bowed slightly, and resolutely followed him into the palace.

The important ministers of the court stood on both sides, and the crown prince stood on the left side below the dragon case. I knelt down and saluted my uncle Wang, only to see my uncle Wang actually walk down from the dragon case, personally helped me up, and said with a smile: "My son is exempt!"

I got up in response, caught a glimpse of a streak of grey in my peripheral vision, and followed the color to notice a person. This person is tall and thin, with sword eyebrows and a cold face, eyes like torches, sharp edges and corners, closed lips, and slightly rippling corners of his mouth, as if smiling but not smiling. Looking at the clothes again, the brocade robe with a blue and gray background with a deer and beast pattern bordered by gold and silver threads is a black jade ribbon around the waist.

Just by looking at the clothes and bearing, you know that you are not an idle person.

Under the eyes of the court, it was inconvenient for me to stay for a long time, but I had already guessed the identity of this person.

"Now that the princess is ready, please ask the king to order the princess to set off and go to Xiqiu at an auspicious time, so that Fuxian can return to his life as soon as possible, and the two countries can also achieve the reality of marriage as soon as possible. His head was slightly raised, and his expression was like an iceberg, making it seem that he had never seen anyone in his eyes.

As I expected, this person is the marriage envoy sent by Youguo. His tone was as cold as his expression, but his voice was very good. I remembered that my mother had said that a person with a pleasant voice must be charitable, and the person in front of me seemed to be just over twenty years old, although he was noble and handsome, but he had an indescribable cold and sinister atmosphere, which really could not be associated with charity.

Uncle Wang suddenly laughed loudly, patted the man's shoulder a few times with one hand, and said, "The widow will definitely not delay the auspicious time, and please let King Zuo Xian be restless." ”

Instead, he ordered me again: "Xi'er, quickly meet this King Zuoxian, King Zuoxian is the brother of King You, and he is also the marriage envoy of King You's own order, this is a long way to go, and I have to rely on King Zuo Xian to take care of him along the way." ”

"No. ”

I turned around and saluted him, and when I caught a glimpse of him still looking like an iceberg, I only responded lightly: "In the lower Dongfang Fuxian, on the order of the king of you, I came to welcome the princess into the secluded." ”

Every time this person speaks, people can't hear any joy or sorrow, but the voice is definitely very good.

For the first time in my life, I knew that men's voices were so beautiful, and the men's voices I heard in my ears were always rough or hoarse, or dull or shrill in my ears.

I stood in front of him, a few steps away, and felt that his voice was like an empty mountain morning bell, and like the water of a hot spring, so that people couldn't help but want to get closer. It's a pity that it's so nice to be separated from others. If I hadn't seen him, I'd probably have been fascinated by the voice.

Thinking of this, my face couldn't help but burn, and I secretly blamed myself for not thinking nonsense, and gave another salute and went back to my place.

"Come, bring the dowry prepared by the widow for the princess!" Uncle Wang gave an order, and soon more than a dozen palace slaves carried things in.

My uncle took me by the hand as he did when he took me to the garden to play, and when he moved to the dowry, he let go of his hand, looked at me with a smile, and said, "My son, these are all dowries prepared for you by my father, and you like them all quickly?"

I saw that the large and small boxes contained a pair of pearls and jade pendants, as well as jade dragon crowns, jade rings, comb rings of northern pearl crown flowers, comb rings of seven treasure crown flowers, pearl coats, half-sleeved blouses, pearl and emerald collar clothes at four o'clock, gold ware inlaid with pearls, gilt ware, as well as splendid silk and gold curtains, furnishings, mattresses, carpets, screens and other objects.

The eyes are full of gold, silver, pearls, and emeralds, all of which are extremely precious things.

I knew that these dowries had long exceeded the courtesy that a princess should enjoy, and every piece I looked at was carefully selected, but it was not the doting of my uncle and the king, why was it so? I choked up in my throat, and I couldn't speak for a while, not because of those things, but because I had touched this father-daughter relationship for many years.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Princess Tianze doesn't appreciate it, and she doesn't know how to thank her after watching it for so long!" A harsh ridicule came from the hall, it was the acting lady who was sitting on the dragon case.

I quickly came back to my senses, knelt down and kowtowed and thanked him: "This kind of dowry object has long exceeded the courtesy of ordinary princesses, and the fox seal knows at a glance that it is the uncle Wang Shu's love to be like this, everything is called the fox seal's heart, and the fox seal thanks his uncle Wang Longen!"

Without waiting for her uncle Wang to speak, Mrs. Dai said coldly: "Yes? You really feel satisfied? Then why don't you want to wear the wedding dress that the king and the palace have personally prepared for you today, but you are dressed so shabby? Are you not satisfied with the wedding dress that the king and the palace have prepared for you? Or do you deliberately want to lose the face of the king and the kingdom of Xiqiu?"

As soon as Mrs. Dai said this, my uncle Wang looked at my clothes and makeup, and I saw that his expression changed slightly, and quickly explained: "The fox seal will never dare! The wedding dress prepared by my uncle for his daughter is very luxurious, and my daughter naturally likes it very much, and the reason why I wore this dress is to do a filial piety for the late Queen Kangding." ”

I didn't dare to look up, but I only heard the buzzing of discussion in the hall and the puzzled voice of my uncle and king.

After taking a breath, he stroked his sleeves lightly, and cautiously continued: "What the fox seal is wearing is a congratulatory gift from his uncle and mother on his birthday last year, although this one is not as good as the one given by his uncle and king, but it is enough to match the identity of the fox seal, and there will be no loss of national body, how can it be said that it is shabby? The death of the mother of the country is the mourning of the whole country, Xiqiu attaches great importance to filial piety, and her daughter should be more cautious as the princess of Xiqiu. If the makeup is too luxurious and gorgeous, and the swagger is in the market, it will definitely be criticized by the people of the West. Now that he is married, Hu Xi doesn't want King You to look down on him, making him feel that his daughter is just a thin person. ”

After saying this in one breath, his palms were already a little sweaty.

At this time, Situ Chengjin also stepped forward to relieve me and said: "Father Qi, the son also thinks that there is nothing wrong with Wang Mei's move, not to mention that Wang Mei has always been courteous and courteous, and she is careful and thoughtful, and she also asks her mother to learn from it." ”

It is not false to say that I am filial and courteous, but it can be said that I am serious and thoughtful, but it is really purely for me to put gold.

Sure enough, seeing my uncle Wang nodding in approval, and ordering me to get up, the stone in my heart finally settled a little, and I saw Mrs. Dai's mouth and eyes distorted with anger, and she sneered in her heart.

"My son is reasonable, worthy of my eldest princess, so filial, the widow is also moved by it, then according to your own thoughts. ”

Uncle Wang returned to the dragon case and smiled at Dongfang Fuxian: "The right talent makes King Zuoxian laugh, they are all widows and have no way to discipline them." The auspicious time is about to pass, then King Lao Zuoxian will lead the escort to set off immediately and escort the princess into the seclusion. ”

Dongfang Fuxian stepped forward, clasped his fists with both hands, and smiled on his face, still in such a faint tone: "King Taichang's words are serious! The princess is just taking into account the overall situation and being more thoughtful, and the prince and the princess are very affectionate and courteous, and Ling Zai is very admired. ”

He is also a person who can speak smoothly, I thought to myself.

Although he had already made preparations in his heart, he really wanted to leave the palace where he had lived for fourteen years, and leave the man who was as loving as a father on the dragon case, tears still couldn't stop falling, and he walked to the middle of the hall and knelt down in a regular manner: "Huxi thanks Uncle Wang for his many years of upbringing, may Uncle Wang Long be healthy, and may Xiqiu be prosperous and prosperous." ”

Uncle Wang's eyes were also moist, and he turned his face away and waved his hand to signal me to leave.

I got up and bowed again, my heart was like a cocoon, and I turned to say goodbye to the crown prince Chengjin and my grandfather and a few ministers. Situ Chengjin could not hide the sadness on his face, and he had an expression of wanting to speak and stopping.

I knew it was not advisable to delay any longer, so I turned and hurried away.

Walking down the steps step by step, I suddenly felt a cool breeze passing through my temples, and suddenly I seemed to hear someone calling me, it was the voice of my father, my mother, and my uncle, and I shouted repeatedly, like a nightmare.

My son, don't go, life and death have their own providence, and my father doesn't want you to take revenge!

Xi'er, don't go, don't go, as long as you live safely, the queen mother only needs you to live safely!

Xi'er, don't go, have you forgotten the words of your uncle?

No, father, mother, uncle, Xi'er must go, even if there is a sea of swords and fires ahead, I have no regrets, family hatred and national hatred, how can Xi'er only seek self-protection and live in troubled times?

The shouts alternately approached my eardrums, instantly making me dizzy, breathless, and about to fall, when I suddenly felt something force hold my arm.

When I came back to my senses, I realized that it was a strong and warm hand, and I was shocked to withdraw my sleeves and stand firmly. Looking at my feet, I was afraid, I didn't blame him for being rude, if he hadn't reached out and pulled me just now, I'm afraid I would have fallen down the steps, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

It was only the first time that I had such close physical contact with a man, and I couldn't help but have hot cheeks, and I heard him say in a cold, sarcastic tone, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, thank you King Zuo Xian for coming to the rescue. ”

I was stunned, bowed my head and thanked him, imagining the contemptuous smile that seemed to linger forever on the corner of his mouth, and instantly felt a little disgusted, and my gratitude was gone, and I only walked cautiously, trying to keep some distance from him.

Walking out of the palace, he saw the carriage decorated with a wedding tent and the procession of welcoming the bride. According to the wedding system, the guard of honor can only go to the gate of the palace, and then be led by the envoy of Youguo to welcome relatives, and go to Youguo with the escort team.

When the carriage reached the city, he heard a crowd shouting outside the carriage: "Princess Tianze, the blessing of all the people, there is no end to the millennium." ”

I gently lifted the corner of the curtain and saw that the people in Xizhou City, regardless of men, women and children, were kneeling on both sides of the street.
