34. Adult pyrotechnics
Fingers run through the waterfall-like black hair in front of you, soft and silky.
Wang Jun's eyes couldn't help but deepen.
His little princess has finally grown up.
The white and slender fingers skillfully twisted between the black hair, and soon, a lily bun was curled.
After a careful look, he picked up the eight-treasure cluster beaded white jade flute from the tray and inserted it firmly in her bun.
Then Sima Yue got up and bowed to all the guests who came to watch the ceremony today, and then returned to the dean's room to change her dress.
This is how the first stage of the ritual is completed. There are two similar ceremonies in the future, but the difference is that each time according to the hairpin that Zhengbin used for her hairpin, she had to change her dress once.
When she first came out, she was wearing clothes and shoes, and now Wang Jun has put on the white jade flute of eight treasure clusters for her, she has to go back and change into a set of plain clothes and skirts, and then come out by Wang Jun to give her a white jade bell hairpin, and then change into a curved deep coat, and finally Wang Jun will give her the fulcrum green phoenix head to shake, and the whole ceremony is really completed.
Originally, all the processes of the ceremony, including all the details, Sima Yue knew it well, but now Wang Jun suddenly appeared, like a strong wind rising, and the heart lake rippled and bursting, where would she remember these details?
Fortunately, there is still a warbler.
After she helped Sima Yue into the dean's room, she methodically instructed the poetry and painting to take out the plain clothes and skirts for Sima Yue to change into.
When the painting was intended to change Sima Yue's dress, the poetry pulled Ying Shi to the side, and whispered a few words in her ear.
Poetry and painting are also carefully selected by King Jiangling, although the martial arts are not as good as the warbler, but ordinary people can still deal with a few.
So just now, when the two of them found out that someone was sneaking in and trying to ghost Sima Yue's dress, they sent the person away.
After listening to the poetic report, Yingshi frowned with a pair of beautiful eyebrows, and then said softly: "Today is a good day for the princess, and you can't let people with ulterior motives get in the way." You two be careful, and make sure to take care of all the princess's clothes. ”
If the auspicious clothes are damaged during the ceremony, the princess will inevitably become the laughing stock of the world.
Poetically nodded heavily: "The slave can save it." Sister just rest assured. ”
Next, Ying Shi helped Sima Yue in and out of the dean's room, and he didn't dare to take it lightly, he was simply in the spirit of twelve points, and he always paid attention to the surroundings.
Fortunately, the next qiē process is quite smooth.
Sima Yue changed into the last Qu Fu deep coat to be worn at the ceremony, and came out to salute the Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Qinglong, and the Empress Dowager Li's eyes were full of smiles.
"Good boy," she personally got up and helped Sima Yue up, but the corners of her eyes couldn't help but turn red, "When you were born, the imperial grandmother couldn't watch from the side, and I haven't been able to see how you grow up day by day over the years, but now seeing your courtesy, it can be regarded as making up for the regrets of the imperial grandmother over the years." “
With that, he took a handkerchief to wipe away his tears.
Her words only made Sima Yue's heart sour.
"Imperial grandmother," she held Empress Dowager Li's hand, shook it coquettishly, and came out with an innocent look on her face, "In the future, Yue'er will always be happy at the knees of the imperial grandmother, as long as the imperial grandmother doesn't dislike Yue'er and make noise when the time comes." ”
Empress Dowager Li was only amused by her coquettish words.
"Silly boy, where would the imperial grandmother dislike you for being noisy? I wish you had lived with me all day long, and not go anywhere. ”
Speaking of this, she reached out and patted Sima Yue's hand, looked up at the side, and then said with a smile: "Today, Dean Wang presided over the ceremony for you, why don't you thank him for going?" ”
As soon as Sima Yue heard Empress Dowager Li mention Wang Jun, she subconsciously turned her head to look over.
I saw Wang Jun kneeling on the seat with his back straight, leaning slightly to listen to Emperor Qinglong.
Sensing her gaze, he raised his head and looked over, and a smile suddenly filled his eyebrows.
Sima Yue only felt that his heart, which had just calmed down, jumped like a drum for a while.
She immediately turned her head, pursed her lips tightly and did not speak, but a thin layer of blush was quietly enveloped in her cheeks.
Empress Dowager Li is a person who has come over, and she looks at Sima Yue's demeanor, and she already understands that her granddaughter is also interested in Wang Jun.
It's just that Wang Jun mentioned it to her again and again yesterday, saying that Sima Yue is still young and studying, so it's better not to mention the marriage contract to her for the time being.
Empress Dowager Li thought about it and felt that what Wang Jun said was also somewhat reasonable.
If he knew that his literary master and dean turned out to be his future husband, Sima Yue would inevitably be distracted in his studies. So let's wait until she's done with her studies before I talk about it to her.
It's just that this joyful secret has to endure not to tell others, this feeling is like walking in the dark night in a brocade dress, and no one can see and appreciate it, which is really a bit aggrieved.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Li now has this unspeakable secret in her heart, and then looks at her granddaughter who has moved her heart, and the expression on her face is called a colorful one.
And Sima Yue listened to Empress Dowager Li's words, thinking that he really wanted to thank Wang Jun.
He is the guest of honor today, and after all, he is still his own division commander.
So she turned around and walked slowly in the direction where Wang Jun was.
And from the moment she turned around, Wang Jun had already straightened up, with a smile on the corner of his lips, watching her walk towards him step by step.
In the previous ceremony, Sima Yue first wore a pure and beautiful clothes, girl-like innocence, and then a light-colored and elegant skirt, cardamom girl-like innocence, and then a dignified deep coat, a girl-like brightness, and finally a large-sleeved dress, graceful and elegant.
Wang Jun felt that in the past fifteen years, although he regretted that he had not been able to accompany Sima Yue to grow up, at that moment just now, he seemed to see how his little princess slowly grew from a young child to a cardamom girl, and then to the current flower girl.
But it doesn't matter, he will be by her side every moment of her growth in the future, until each other is old and gray.
So he looked at Sima Yue's gaze and became more and more scorching.
Feeling the change in Wang Jun's gaze, Sima Yue felt that his cheeks were getting hotter and hotter.
It's winter. Although the sun is good, the sun seems to shine through thick ice, and the heat is limited. But Wang Jun's gaze was like the daylight at noon on a dog day, just one glance was enough to make her burn all over.
Obviously it was not a long distance, but Sima Yue still walked for a while. And when she stood still in front of Wang Jun and met his gaze, she felt a little dry for no reason.
She tried her best to calm down, and then first bowed to Wang Jun, and then got up and said, "Dean"
It's just that the dean was just called, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a fire in the corner. At the same time, screams rang out one after another.
Sima Yue was about to turn around to see what was going on, but saw Wang Jun, who was still sitting on the seat, suddenly got up and pulled her behind him.
When Sima Yue peeked out from behind him, he saw that a brocade screen had already burned.
This brocade screen was originally made of rosewood as a frame, and the fine yarn was a painting, which was the most flammable. Before, it was just a brocade screen on fire, but soon the fire took advantage of the wind, and the flames rolled all the way, and suddenly all the brocade screens in a circle were on fire.
Suddenly, I saw a circle of fire around the sky, and thick smoke filled the sky.
The guests present are all powerful people, and most of them are female dependents, even if they are like a toilet on weekdays, they are afraid that there will be maids and women waiting by the side, where have you ever seen such a battle? So the scene was immediately panicked, screams came and went, and everyone ran around.
Yingshi, poetry and painting had already rushed to Sima Yue's side at this time, and the three of them surrounded her in the middle.
But Sima Yue was worried about Empress Dowager Li, so he hurriedly rushed to Empress Dowager Li's place.
"Imperial Grandmother," she grabbed Empress Dowager Li's arm and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, this fire will be extinguished soon." “
Empress Dowager Li laughed.
"Silly child," she touched her head and said with a smile, "Grandmother is not afraid. It's just a small fire, seeing that there are so many guards here, can you still make something happen to the mourning family? You take care of yourself. ”
Yibi looked up at Wang Jun again, and said in a deep voice: "Yue'er will be handed over to you, be sure to protect her thoroughly." ”
Wang Jun nodded and promised: "The Queen Mother can rest assured." ”
At this time, Sima Yuan was in danger, and he had fully demonstrated the calm and sure temperament that he should have as a prince.
Under his command, some of the guards guarded the Qinglong Emperor Empress Dowager Li and other royal people, some guarded the guests, and some were responsible for extinguishing the fire.
Originally, it was an empty field, and the only flammable thing was the brocade screen that was surrounded by a circle. So even if you don't put out the fire, when the circle of brocade is burned, the fire will naturally be extinguished.
It's just that people are still a little enthusiastic and panicked when they stay in the middle.
In a panic, Sima Yue suddenly noticed that his hand was quietly held.
When she raised her eyes, she saw Wang Jun looking down at her.
"Look," seeing that Sima Yue was also looking at him, he smiled slightly, and motioned for her to look at the firelight in front of him, "Does this look like a firework?" Fireworks to celebrate your coming-of-age. ”
Sima Yue's heart suddenly warmed.
He was comforting her.
He must have been afraid that she would be unhappy because such an incident had happened at the only ceremony in his life, so he made up such words to comfort her.
Sima Yue tilted his head and looked at the brocade screen that was burning nearby.
In the crackling sound, the sparks splashed everywhere, and it really looked like a lively fireworks.
