Chapter 22: The Moonlight (Part II)
The imperial city was closed, the number of patrolling Praetorian Guards was more than ten times greater than usual, and the soldiers of the city tower stood majestically like a mountain.
In the Prince's Mansion, although it is already night, there are people coming and going in the Prince's Mansion, the lights are bright, and the maids and servants are carrying all kinds of royal gold and jade things, carefully arranging and shuttling among them, and the entire Prince's Mansion is soaked in a warm red sea.
The old housekeeper's mother-in-law who led the way urged the maids who followed in a low voice: "Eh, be careful, this lamp will be used tomorrow, this prince's happy day, we have to be careful, otherwise this head will not be able to be saved!" ”
The hall was lit up, and Steward Chen carefully hung up the red lanterns, although the matter was heavy, but he still required the most detailed: "On the left, on the left, after that...... Huh! It's over again! Slow down, slow down, don't worry......" The old butler moved left and right with the lantern, his neck tilted back and rolled his eyes, and suddenly the old butler clapped his hands: "Yes! That's it, that's it! Come down, go to Ann! ”
The old housekeeper Chen Ping stroked his beard, and his sleeves gently wiped the sweat on his forehead. Chen Ping wiped his sweat and looked at the people who were decorated in this hall, although he was hard, but he was also happy for the prince: tomorrow is the day of the prince's wedding, thinking that since the prince moved from the East Palace to the prince's mansion, he has been managing this up and down, and the emperor is indeed not wrong, this prince's character is indeed the top among the princes, and he has never been harsh on the people in this mansion. I think the queen also wanted to designate a marriage for the prince before, although the prince did not disobey in the open, he secretly dragged it out, knowing that he found this Luo Jin girl and received it to the house, this Luo Jin girl is beautiful and kind, the two of them are in harmony with each other, the day before yesterday, Luo Jin girl returned to her hometown to visit relatives, and the prince went to pick it up in person, which is really enviable.
Thinking of this, Chen Ping didn't rest anymore, wiping his sweat, and at the same time holding his old waist and going to the yard to stretch up.
In the back kitchen of the Prince's Mansion, on one side is the finely carved royal pastries, and on the other side is the bright and rare delicacies of the mountains and seas. The best master chef in the imperial dining room of the palace is also tense with a string, not daring to make a half-point difference, and the carvings on the table are also tattooed with dragon and phoenix patterns, under the red light of the courtyard, this delicacy is even more extraordinary.
Almost every corner of the entire Prince's Mansion is full of busy people, doing their best for tomorrow's national event, and the hostess of this grand event is no exception.
In the Qiongyu Pavilion, a group of aunts with the highest skills in the palace surrounded a girl with a gorgeous and grand decoration but a tired face, and excitedly said a word to me.
"This bun should be higher, and only when it is higher can it be noble! The queen's hair was my hair back then, oops, the emperor was very satisfied! ”
"Isn't this rouge a little lighter, this is not good, it is more beautiful if it is a little redder. Let's try this, I only have it here, how many talented people in the harem, concubines, all begging me to give some. Look how beautiful it is! ”
Luo Jin felt that his neck could no longer support the burden on his head, and the phoenix hairpin at one end swayed, and he always felt that if he was a little careless, he shook off to the ground. Especially when I think of tossing again tomorrow morning, I really want to just not sleep.
"Yo, Miss Luo, why do you still have a jade bracelet, look at it, take it off and put it away, you have to bring a gold bracelet, didn't you already choose one last time?" An aunt in the palace next to her saw the jade bracelet in Luo Jin's hand, frowned, and hurriedly picked it up, but was dodged away by Luo Jin, Luo Jin was a little angry at that moment, but it was not easy to attack, and said to the palace people as pleasantly as possible: "Hehe, aunt, don't you wear it again tomorrow, I don't feel comfortable wearing it this night, and I have to take it off, or it won't look good tomorrow if I catch it this night, it's better to wear it tomorrow, and wear it tomorrow!" ”
When the people in the palace saw Luo Jin say this, it was inconvenient to say more, and they retreated silently.
was busy until late at night, in order to let the new princess have a good rest, waiting for Luo Jin to take off the things and makeup on her head, and the aunts put the special water for the new palace to cleanse, and then retreated.
Luo Jin dismissed the maid and sat alone in front of the mirror, holding his cheeks with his hands, looking at the people in the mirror with picturesque eyebrows, the beauty mole in the center of the eyebrows was still bright red and dazzling, with deep tiredness written on his face, and he was distracted, the jade bracelet on his hand emitted a warm soft light, and he felt as if someone was clinging to his wrist, that kind of warm touch.
Luo Jin said thoughtfully: "Brother...... Brother...... I'm getting married......"
The light of the bracelet became brighter and gentler, Luo Jin gently rubbed the jade bracelet, the mood was like rubbing the palm of a relative, the corners of his mouth were smiling, but his eyes were filled with tears. In the middle of the night, the water in the purification body was also cold, Luo Jin looked at the moonlight and quietly distracted.
Suddenly, Luo Jin should have remembered something, went to rummage under the pillow on the couch to find something, and after a while, took out a jade flute, quietly climbed up the stairs, walked to the highest platform, and looked down, there are still many palaces in the palace wall of the imperial city tonight, and the patrolling Praetorian Guards are still neatly and forcefully surrounding the prince's mansion, and the red light of the prince's mansion is also his own home.
"Jinjin, I can't see you, I'll see you on the wedding day. Don't worry, I have invited you to the best aunts in the palace, and I believe that on our wedding day, you are the most beautiful bride! ”
Luo Jin thought that Yu Wenqing stroked his hair this morning and gently soothed himself; Thinking about the last time the two had a little awkwardness, after he said goodbye without saying goodbye, he panicked; Thinking that he was fighting for himself against the queen's arrangement. There are soft ripples in my heart.
This jade flute is a birthday gift from that person. Recently, my brother has just had some eyebrows on that person, so let's find it quickly. That man is really the gentlest and most elegant person in heaven and on earth. I remember that he was trapped by love every day, but when he didn't know what it was, he knew that he was a very good person.
Luo Jin put the jade flute in the palm of his hand, and he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that the next person would come to find him, so he just thought about the past story over and over again. Thinking of this time like a white horse passing by a gap, I couldn't help but be emotional, and gently wiped away my tears with my hand.
"Come on, let me see, it's all big girls, why are you crying when you're getting married?" A familiar male voice behind him remembered, cynical as always.
Luo Jin's back stiffened, he was slightly stunned, and then he burst into tears and smiled: "Brother! Who cried! ”
Luo Jin didn't need to look back, he knew that the son behind him was as beautiful as jade, shaking a folding fan, wearing plain clothes, and smiling with a pair of peach blossom eyes.
