Chapter 64: Fengtian
Zhang Zhaohua first lowered her head and laughed, and then she fell on the dresser and laughed - she laughed too violently, and even knocked down the brass mirror in front of her, which was about a foot high, and by the way, there were seven or eight enamel porcelain fat powder on the ground, and it was surprising that the fetal quality of enamel porcelain was very thick at this time, and it could withstand such a fall.

Several palace maids bowed to the side and did not dare to speak, and they did not dare to raise their heads. But the female officer who came in could see it clearly, and Mama Qian shouted anxiously and confusedly: "Princess!" Zhang Zhaohua waved his hand, pointed to his face and said: "Oh, no, I'm sweating from laughter here, quickly re-apply the fat powder to me, I'm afraid that the sweat will melt the makeup on my face." ā
was laughed at by Zhang Zhaohua fiercely, Gao Chi didn't seem to be annoyed at all, just lay on the bed and sighed lazily for two or three breaths. As soon as the mirror was erected, Zhang Zhaohua looked at it clearly, but he couldn't laugh at him anymore, and asked the palace maid next to him who was at a loss to serve Gao Chi and get dressed.
She has five or six palace maids here to serve her with makeup, and it is not as fast as the two palace maids there to help him get dressed, although the crown dress is complicated to wear, like Gao Chi's prince's clothes, plain yarn in the single, three chapters of Tsing Yi, and four chapters of silk clothes, after the set is set, the palace maids still have to kneel to tie his knees to cover him, but the palace maids of Chunxi Hall seem to be used to doing this kind of work, and they can dress quickly and well.
Zhang Zhaohua finally put on makeup here, and began to put on her dress layer by layer, yesterday's feeling of being bound and pressed again, but there is no way, major festivals such as the Holy Day, the Thousand Autumn Festival and the New Year's Day, the Winter Solstice, the congratulatory note and the wedding celebrations of various festivals, all have to wear this kind of dress.
After the two of them got dressed, they didn't have time to eat, and they could only eat when they returned to the Zhuwang Pavilion after the court meeting, and the consequence of not eating breakfast was that both of them were a little dizzy, but this morning's court meeting had to walk again, which showed filial piety to their relatives - so the two of them wore heavy dresses, came out of the Chunxi Palace, and walked all the way to the front of the Fengtian Hall in a straight line.
Because the road to the palace is straight, there is no shortcut to the palace where the emperor is located, so you have to bypass the Fengtian Palace. The two of them were already out of breath, especially Gao Chi, who was sweating profusely, and a zanyin next to him kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.
Just as he was about to bypass the Fengtian Temple, Gao Chi suddenly stumbled under his feet, and he was about to fall to the ground. Zanyin next to him was holding a handkerchief in his hand and didn't have time to help, Zhang Zhaohua, who was following behind, saw it clearly, and hurriedly reached out to grab him, and caught it, but what he caught was Gao Chi's wide sleeves, and she was also carried forward by the wind and fell two steps forward, and also fell behind Gao Chi's buttocks.
The prince and the princess fell to the ground at the same time, so frightened that the female officials and palace people behind them came up in a swarm, helping the ground, rubbing the ground, and slapping the dust, and asking them if they had fallen somewhere - Zhang Zhaohua was fine, she was just carried to the ground, and there was still room for buffering when she fell, and she shook her legs after standing up, indicating that she was fine.
Gao Chi didn't seem to have anything to do there, and he didn't care, probably because he fell on the ground a lot, and he also had the instinct to avoid harm, and he was covered in a lot of flesh, which was also a benefit, and he could protect his bones.
But then the palace maid called in a low voice, which made Zhang Zhaohua panic involuntarily. Because her Yugui actually cracked!
Yugui is the jade hand in the hand, which is also an integral part of the dress, just like the hand board held by the hundred officials when they went to court, but the hand board of the hundred officials is made of ivory or bamboo, which can be remembered, and the name is "Wat Board".
When Zhang Zhaohua saw that he had fallen Yugui, he was terrified, and the attendants next to him were all discolored. Even Gao Chi saw the broken Yugui, and his face was obviously solemn and serious.
"Let's go to the court to see the emperor's grandfather first," Gao Chi said to her, "I'll talk about Yugui's affairs." ā
Zhang Zhaohua felt that he was in a daze--how could he have broken such an important thing with status symbolic significance! The emperor asked, what should Gao Chi say! The ancients were superstitious, and in front of the Fengtian Temple, they fell Yugui! If they fell, Yugui would still be the same, and maybe there would be people who could say it, thinking that it was auspicious and a blessing! But if it was broken, this thing would have to be replaced with a new one, and since ancient times, broken jade was not a good sign!
There was not much distance from Fengtian Hall to Jinshen Palace, but just such a little way, Zhang Zhaohua sweated profusely. When they were in the Pavilion of the Kings, the grandmothers repeatedly told them to teach them that the royal family could not make a mistake, and they trembled every day, as if they were walking on thin ice in the abyss, and they might not know that something bad was coming, not to mention that the disaster they broke through was not small!
The sweat on Zhang Zhaohua's forehead actually flowed into her eyes, and her eyes felt white. In a trance, she seemed to see Gao Chi turn his head to look at her, a little blame, a little worried, but the most thing was a gesture for her to keep her demeanor - this glance made her come back to her senses.
The two stopped in front of the temple.
There were already eunuchs who had already entered the ceremony, and after a while, an old woman with two coins pinned to her head came out, bowed down and said, "The emperor has ascended to the throne, please meet the prince and the princess." ā
As she spoke, her eyes turned around slightly, and she stopped at the jade gui that Zhang Zhaohua was holding - Zhang Zhaohua's heart jumped, what happened just now had obviously reached the emperor's ears!
Now that she wants to play, Zhang Zhaohua felt that her hands and feet were wooden, and her five senses seemed to be leaving her, and she could only hear her mechanical voice: "Grandwoman to meet the emperor-" After that, Zanyin led the prince to stand on the east side of the hall, and Si Boudoir led Zhang Zhaohua to stand on the west side, waiting for the emperor's order to roll up the curtain.
However, he didn't hear the sound of the emperor's order rolling the blind, but first called Zhang Zhaohua's name: "Yan Shifei Zhang." ā
Zhang Zhaohua raised his head and bowed with his hands, and said, "The grandmother is here." ā
"Where is your Yugui?" the emperor's voice could not hear the joy and anger: "Take it out and present it." ā
Zhang Zhaohua mechanically put the jade gui in his hand that was broken into two pieces on the tray, and then mechanically watched the tray being presented to the imperial case.
"Why did Yugui break?" the Emperor asked.
"Grandpa Huihuang," it was Gao Chi who replied, and he said unhurriedly: "There is a reason for Yugui's breakage." ā
"Why?" the Emperor asked.
"Because there is no inscription on it. Gao Chi said: "The emperor's grandfather's big gui is engraved with the word 'Fengtian', and the jade gui of Uncle Wang, the grandson and the grandson is engraved with the words 'Fengtian Fazu'. ā
"You mean," the emperor's voice seemed to bring a smile, "The bride's jade gui, because there is no engraved word 'Fengtian', so passing by the Fengtian Palace, can't you bear this weight?"
"Yes. Gao Chi said: "Only the heavens benefit the people, but the heavens are the only ones." The emperor's grandfather was ordered by the heavens, respected by the heavens, and the heavens and the earth knew it. It was the late grandson who asked the imperial grandfather to give the bride the jade gui, and also engraved the word 'Fengtian' to show the meaning of orthodoxy. ā
The emperor on the throne finally let out a laugh, and Zhang Zhaohua knew that the prince's answer was passed.
The emperor then instructed: "Give the princess Xingui, and engrave the word 'Fengtian', as the prince said." ā
The palace congratulated together, and Zhang Zhaohua immediately knelt down to thank the emperor, and she finally passed this level.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhaohua couldn't help but sneak a glance at Shizi standing opposite, and his heart was full of endless gratitude.
