Chapter 745: Feast
Shallow regret follows the wind, and Murong Wei now only has the light breeze in her heart.
thought that when he arrived in Kangnan, he would have a head-to-head battle with Gu Zhengnuo. Murong Wei was already full of energy, but she didn't expect to be greeted by such Haiyan Heqing.
Whether it is in the past life or in this life, Gu Chenxiao is willing to clear all the haze for her, and this gentle and elegant young man will hold up the solid sky above his head for him at any time.
Through the light silk tulle, looking at the free and handsome back on the front head and shoulders, like the shadow of the moon moving flowers, a smile quietly bloomed, and Murong Wei's eyes were full of spring light.
The delay on the way between the two was a moment and a half late, and the queen had already prepared a neat palace banquet in the Qinse Palace.
The location is chosen on the wide terrace of the apse of the Qinser Palace, and the oily rosewood floor is covered with an inch-long "Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang" woven gold thick blanket, burning a furnace of agarwood incense, and the faint fragrance is gently diffused in the terrace.
The front team set up a round table carved with white sandalwood carved gold silk cloud legs, on which eight cold dishes were neatly arranged with a small square dish of Doucai entwined flowers, and a curved neck wine jug with Doucai cloisonnΓ© enamel and four small cups were placed on the top.
On the other side, there is a half-storey flower tower, and the camellia flowers are blooming in this season.
The breeze blows, and the light purple and pink petals fly gracefully, deliberately accumulating a thick layer on the ground that has not been taken care of, adding a bit of charm.
Under the flower tower, there is a wide rosewood soft couch, covered with a bright yellow Wanfu bright satin mattress with blue and gold borders, and a middle-aged man wearing a light yellow Shu silk Kuilong robe sits on the top, a pair of tiger eyes are powerful, the sword beard is long eyebrows, very heroic and chivalrous, it is the current Kangnan Emperor.
The queen stood beside him, repairing the camellia in the flower tower with silver scissors. Seeing that the two of them were late, they put aside the silver scissors in their hands, wiped their hands with the incense towel handed over by Xiangfu, and said with a smile: "Your father and emperor have been talking for a long time, but you can see the main master." β
Gu Chenxiao called his father with a smile, then took Murong Wei's hand and walked to the front of the couch, kneeling down and saluting.
"This is Ah Wei, my good daughter-in-law", Emperor Kang Nandi's voice was low and a little magnetic, and he did not hide his joy at seeing the two of them. Although the whole person looked mighty, he couldn't hide the tenderness in his eyes.
In his previous life, at this time, Emperor Kangnan was lingering on the sickbed, and his sick bones were fragmented, as if he would die as soon as the winter passed. When Murong Wei came with his relatives, Gu Zhengnuo and Gu Chenxiao's brothers were in the period of filial piety, and the entire Kangnan country was in a downturn.
Now it is bitter and sweet, Emperor Kangnan has been eliminated, and he can grow old with the queen.
Thinking of Emperor Kangnan's dedication to Gu Chenxiao's mother and son, Murong Wei was full of admiration and kowtowed three times uprightly. Her soft and glutinous Wu Nong's soft words seemed to be soaked by the spring rain in March in the south of the Yangtze River, delicate and sweet: "The daughter-in-law has seen her father, and I wish my father long live, long live, long live." β
"Good boy, get up quickly, it's still the way? Are you used to it here? If you don't have any intimateness, just talk to your mother. Emperor Kang Nan asked with concern, his eyes were full of concern, at this moment, he was not like a high emperor, but more like an elder at home.
Leaving the side of his father and mother, fortunately, in addition to Gu Chenxiao, there are also Emperor Kangnan and the empress who really care for him, Murong Wei said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, the waterway is gentle, but the scenery along the way is good." Kang Nan and Xixia are close to each other, and many habits are similar, and the courtiers' daughters-in-law have no sense of discomfort. β
Listening to such an empathetic answer, Emperor Kang Nan laughed, his eyes full of praise.
beckoned to the great eunuch standing behind him, and Emperor Kang Nan instructed him to bring the meeting gift that had been prepared long ago. A peony flower box inlaid with jade rosewood painted gold and lacquered contains twelve walnut-sized night pearls.
Even if the six vermilion crystal ruyi pattern palace lights on the terrace are shining, they still can't hide the brilliance of the night pearl, and the lustrous and noble color is softly sprinkled all over the terrace.
Even though she had seen countless treasures, Murong Wei still admired the weight of these twelve night pearls. She thanked Emperor Kangnan for the reward, and said softly: "I can smell that there are unique pearls in the South China Sea, which can be called the most pearl of the night, and it is a priceless treasure for the world to get one." How can a daughter-in-law deserve such a love from her father?"
Emperor Kang Nan saw that Murong Wei knew the value of this night's pearl, and his heart was even more happy, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Just because you provided information to Ah Xiao, destroying the 30,000 private soldiers of the Nalan family is the first achievement, and it is naturally worthy of this peerless jewel." The elder can't give it away, don't hurry up and put it away!"
Murong Wei smiled and agreed, and retreated to the side with Gu Chenxiao. Xiangfu had already led the people to hold the copper basin and incense towel, and the two of them cleaned their faces.
The palace people came to invite each other, and the four of them sat down in front of the carved round table, and the hot dishes began to be served one by one. Emperor Kang Nan was in high spirits, and ordered someone to open a jar of aged bamboo leaf green, and filled the cup in front of him and Gu Chenxiao.
The queen ordered someone to serve the green plum wine brewed in spring, the amber color was crystal clear, and the light fruity fragrance was revealed in the clear, she knew that Murong Wei was tired from the journey, so she only briefly ordered someone to pour a small cup for her.
During the banquet, the wedding ceremony on September 16 was mentioned, and the queen's eyes were full of brilliance.
She smiled and said: "Ah Wei, Chen Xiao took over the important task of taking care of you from your father in Xixia, and I, as a mother, will marry you in a grand and lively manner, and then make an edict to the world, King Ning will marry a good wife and concubine, and since then the two countries will be separated by water and will always be good neighbors and friends." β
I thought that there was only one canonization ceremony waiting for me in Kangnan, but I didn't expect that the queen had already taken care of everything. Murong Wei was full of gratitude, and lowered her head shyly: "Naturally, it is all up to the father and the queen mother. β
The queen nodded with satisfaction, pointed to a plate of newly served flower cakes for Murong Wei to taste, and said carefully with the two: "Chen Xiao is not in Beijing these days, and the queen mother has already prepared the new house for you in King Ning's mansion. Now that I haven't gotten married, I will go back to your Ning Wang's Mansion to live in a while, and see if the queen mother is arranged. Ah Wei has been by my side for the past two days, and the grandmothers will tell you about the rules of the wedding. Although the two places are similar, there is Xiaoyi, and I just took advantage of these days to learn some Kangnan customs. β
The two of them traveled all the way, Gu Chenxiao was not overly offended, he solemnly said to Murong Wei that the best things must be reserved for the best days.
Emperor Kang Nan put down the teacup in his hand and said to Gu Chenxiao: "Now that your identity as the concubine of the main palace is correct, I will immediately issue a holy decree after the wedding, and canonize you as the prince of the East Palace." Your mother and I are no longer young, and we often look forward to the joy of our children and grandchildren around our knees, and you will stay in Beijing in the future, and we will have a lot of family life. β
