Zhao Yi's coronation ceremony and the canonization ceremony of the prince of Chu were held as scheduled in the Shenfeng Hall of the Chu Palace, and not only the officials at all levels of the Chu Palace, but also the eight families of Chu also came, in addition, there were several special guests.

One is the Taoist sage Nie Shidao of the Ziji Palace of Luofu Mountain with the Taoist boy to congratulate, the congratulatory gift is a pair of words written by the Nie sage himself, four words: purple gas from the east.

One is the Taiyao Mountain Divine Cave Sect Sect Leader Tianshu Zhenren, bringing four female disciples with outstanding demeanor and elegant fairy spirits to congratulate, and the congratulatory gifts are much richer and more valuable than the Taoist saint in Ziji Palace.

A box of Tibetan true phoenix marrow incense, a sword of Dingguo, a right army style inkstone, and a copy of the "I Ching Participation in the Same Deed" written by Tianshu Zhenren.

When the ceremonial official sang the gift list, the demeanor of this Tianshu Zhenren, who had always been quite mysterious, was a little arrogant.

One was Guo Fengxian, the envoy of the king of the East China Sea, who brought an entourage to congratulate him, and the congratulatory gift was a copy of the "Spring and Autumn Period" written by a Confucian sage.

There is also the appearance of a special person, but everyone present was shocked, this person is from the Rong country, named Tuoba Lou, is the king of the Eastern Expedition of the Rong country, and the generalissimo of the official residence of the soldiers and horses.

The congratulatory gifts he brought filled a cart, but there was only one thing: wine.

Rong people talk about people with wine, and those who have a large amount are respected.

The rest of the kings like Langya and Chengdu also sent envoys to congratulate.

Everyone who came was a guest, and Du Huangting, who was the head of the ceremony, greeted him with a smile, received the courtesy, and said polite words.

In the Shenfeng Palace, the guests gathered together, and the old king of Chu sat on the throne in a crown dress, and his subordinate was Zhao Yi in the crown clothes of the prince.

Zhao Yi, who was dressed up to attend, was really like a jade, handsome and elegant, and no one could tell that he was a general who fought on the battlefield, but more like a gentleman who grew up in a wealthy family.

Similarly, there is no kingly bearing in him.

Some guests with ulterior motives couldn't help but feel contempt in their hearts when they saw this young son who was about to become the prince of the king of Chu.

Zhao Yi quietly looked at the various characters in the hall, and there was a smile in the corner of his eye.

The process of the canonization ceremony was very simple, first crowning Zhao Yi to indicate that he had reached adulthood, and then Du Huangting announced the royal decree of canonizing Zhao Yi as the prince of the king of Chu, and the last of the royal decree made the guests present in an uproar.

The last article says: Xuanyuan Yi, the son of the world, immediately succeeded to the throne as the king of Chu, commanded the military administration of Chu Dijing and handed over to the two states.

In the uproar of discussions, the old King of Chu slowly stood up, scanning the audience with his eyes full of vicissitudes, and the hall instantly fell silent.

The old King of Chu smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Today is the double happy day of my son Xuanyuan Yi succeeding to the throne of Chu King and the wedding, this king thanks you for coming, and at the same time, this king is also here to tell the world, my Chu State will, as always, support Emperor Wen and defend the Tiannan territory for my Gale Dynasty." ”

The old king of Chu paused when he said this, the hall was silent, all eyes were focused on the old king of Chu on the throne, the old king of Chu laughed a few times, and said: "From now on, everything in the palace of the king of Chu will be in charge of my son, this king is happy and idle, everyone knows that this king has a nickname, or it was given by Emperor Wu back then, called 'Pink Prince', from today on, I am a veritable 'Pink Prince'." ”

The guests in the hall looked at each other, but none of them spoke.

Several big people had different expressions, and the old minister looked excited, and there was a teardrop in the corner of his eye, but he didn't know why he was excited.

The general Jinghu has always been expressionless, indifferent and serious, maintaining the dignified majesty of a battlefield general.

The officials at all levels of the Chu Wangfu were all surprised, and even a little panicked, obviously not knowing about the old Chu King's decision in advance.

And the expressions on the faces of those special guests are also different.

The Nie Sage of the Purple Pole Palace smiled, and he was modest and modest.

A trace of imperceptible anger flashed in the eyes of the Tianshu real person in the Taiyao Mountain Cave, and then he closed his eyes, looking like a fairy master.

Guo Fengxian, the envoy of Dongyue, stared at the new king of Chu with a thoughtful look.

Since Tuoba Lou sat down, he has been drinking by himself and has never stopped, as if these things have nothing to do with him, and he doesn't care whether he is polite or not.

The canonization ceremony was followed by the marriage ceremony of His Royal Highness the Prince, which was still presided over by Du Huangting.

When the bride wearing a red brocade phoenix crown and a red hijab with a double phoenix and a red hijab on her head came to the center of the hall under the guidance of four fresh and refined maids, although she could not see the appearance of the bride, the men in the hall who were still full of flesh and blood all stared at the bride with wide eyes.

There are those who admire, there are those who envy, and there are those who are jealous.

Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally got up and walked slowly to the bride's side, and suddenly, the admirers and envy all turned into jealouss.

After the ceremony, Zhao Yi only symbolically said hello a few times, and then returned to Taibai Yuan with Wudao.

Yiying's hospitality was handed over to Du Huangting, as well as the old minister, Jing Hu and other important ministers of the Chu Palace.

At the gate of Taibai Garden, Zhao Yi, who was worried, met the old King of Chu who had been waiting there for a long time.

In addition to a young chamberlain by the side of the old King of Chu, there is also a girl in gorgeous clothes, his second sister Deyang Weng.

The old King of Chu looked relaxed and full of energy, and when he saw Zhao Yi, his face was full of smiles.

Zhao Yi looked at the radiant old King Chu in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, he knew that his uncle was just returning to the light, not a performance of energy.

"Uncle!" Zhao Yi bowed.

The old king of Chu smiled and nodded, and said, "I'm not here to disturb your cave room for candle nights. ”

"Brother, I'm here to see my sister-in-law. Lord Deyang on the side continued her father's words.

Old King Chu and Zhao Yi glanced at her in unison, and then they both looked away.

The old Chu King put away the smile on his face and said with a little seriousness: "Yi'er, you can leave the other guests alone, but you must go and see that Nie Saint of the Purple Pole Palace." ”

Zhao Yi thought about it and nodded in response.

The old king of Chu suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, hurry up and go in, your father and I are still waiting to hold our grandson!"

Zhao Yi's delicate face was slightly red, and when he saw that the Lord of Deyang Weng on the side looked shy, and at the same time looked at him gloatingly, he glared at her fiercely.

"Uncle, take care. Zhao Yi barely squeezed out some smiles.

The old king of Chu pulled Deyang, who was clamoring to go in to see his sister-in-law, and left.

Zhao Yi stood at the door and looked around, until he couldn't see the backs of the old Chu King and the Lord of Deyang, then he turned around and walked into Taibai Garden.

When he was about to enter the door, he saw that the witch knife was following inseparably, so he stopped and raised his eyes and said, "I said the witch knife, today is the night of candles in my cave room, you won't be watching from the sidelines, right?"

The witch knife hesitated for a moment, then made a gesture of please, and said with a smile: "I'll be in the courtyard tonight." ”

Zhao Yi stretched out his hand and patted the witch knife's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's hard work, but there is one thing, your attention is as much as possible around tonight, and you don't have to work hard to snoop in my house." ”

Wu Dao solemnly clenched his fists and bowed down: "Subordinates try their best." ”

Zhao Yi smiled, turned around and walked towards the inner room, today's Taibai Garden was full of lights, beaming with joy, and the maids were all smiling, and when they saw Zhao Yi coming in, they bowed down one after another.

Zhao Yi smiled and nodded all the way, but his heart became heavier and heavier, especially when he got closer and closer to the newcomer in the house.

Standing outside the door of his bedroom, Zhao Yi hesitated several times, but never reached out to push the door open, and finally a handsome little girl opened the door from the inside, and called sweetly: "Lord Wang, you are back." ”

Zhao Yi had never seen this little girl, a pair of eyes stared at her tightly, but a pair of feet stood still, did not enter the door, and did not leave.

The little girl seemed to have come to her senses, and hurriedly introduced herself: "Lord Wang, the slave maid is called Qingluan, and she is the personal maid of the young lady, please come in." ”

After finishing speaking, the little girl was already blushing like a big apple, Zhao Yi thought that she still had to face it after all, and she couldn't hide it, so she took a deep breath and walked into the house.

The layout of the house is still the same as before, the elegant utensils, the incense burner and the bookcase have not been moved, but the red curtain ribbon is hung, the floor is replaced with a red brocade carpet, and the lamp holder is replaced with a red incense candle.

After scanning for a week, he slowly walked to the inner room, only to see a newcomer wearing a red brocade phoenix crown and a red hijab embroidered with double phoenix beads on his head sitting on the wide couch.

Motionless and silent.

Zhao Yi's heart was a little nervous, but at the same time, because there was a knot in his heart that had not been resolved, he was also hesitating whether to go over.

The little girl blushed and reminded on the side: "Lord Wang, Miss is waiting for you to lift your hijab!"

Zhao Yi hummed, but he didn't move, and finally under the frequent puzzled gaze of the little girl, Zhao Yi made up his mind to walk over.

He stood in front of the newcomer and took the joy from the little girl's hand, but hesitated again and again, and finally went to lift the hijab tremblingly.

This is a woman who quickly broke into his life, maybe it was providence, or it could be said fate, so he didn't even have a chance to refuse.

The novels he used to read secretly in the palace that wrote about talented and beautiful women have a classic sentence in them, saying that those talented and beautiful women are 'destined to meet thousands of miles away'.

He and the woman in front of him seem to be like this, otherwise one is in the north and the other is in the south, how could they meet so coincidentally in the vast sea of people.

It's just that he is a beautiful woman, but he may not be a talent.

Zhao Yi remembered some things he had met and experienced with Jinglan in his heart, and he sighed for a while, but he diluted the disgust and resentment in his heart before.

The woman in front of her is exquisite, a pair of cut autumn water with affection, and the cherry lips have infinite temptation, with a bun like a cloud, with a phoenix hairpin and jade, showing a noble and unattainable temperament.

Under the flickering candlelight, the woman in front of her was simply beautiful, and Zhao Yi was distracted for a moment.

Jing Lan lowered her head slightly, her eyes didn't dare to look directly, her hands were tightly clasped with each other, and the usually capable and domineering woman showed a shy and shy daughter at this time.

The little girl standing on the side smiled reluctantly, and retreated to the outer room silently very sensibly.

Zhao Yi sat down beside Jinglan and sighed softly.

The bride, who had been looking forward to it in her heart, saw that the groom did not make any further movements after lifting his hijab, and then saw him sitting next to her, and sighed softly, and her heart sank.

Jing Lan buried her head lower, her delicate face gradually became indifferent, and she said softly, "Miss Lu has left." ”

"I know. Zhao Yi also replied softly.

Jing Lan bit her lip, hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you blaming me?"

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

Jing Lan bit her lip a little harder, her eyes were already filled with tears, and her hands were tightly tugging at her dress.

The "talented women of the soldiers" in Jingfu, who has always shed blood without tears, and are stronger than most men, are so aggrieved that they cry at this moment.

The cave room, which was originally full of joy, was filled with silence and a sorrow that flowed secretly.

The two of them sat silently, after a cup of tea, another meal, and finally almost a game of chess.

Jing Lan finally reached out and wiped the tears that had flowed down to her chin, and tried to calm her emotions and said, "Even if you want to blame me, I will still do that." ”

Zhao Yi stood up without saying a word and walked outside, and when he walked to the door of the inner room, he stopped and looked back, Jinglan happened to be looking up at him too, with anger in her eyes, and a shy and beautiful face had become pear blossoms and rain.

"I'm going out to greet an important guest, you wait for me to come back. After Zhao Yi dropped a sentence, he walked out quickly.

The little girl, who was guarding the outer room, stood up like a frightened cat, and watched the groom leave the cave with a blank expression.

At this time, the sky was still bright, a round of red sun hung high, and the world was bright in all directions.
